Pavlos G. Lagoudakis (born 26 August 1975) is a Greek and Russian physicist. He is a Distinguished Professor [1], and Provost at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech).
Early life and education
Lagoudakis completed his undergraduate studies (BSc in Physics) at the University of Athens, Greece, graduating in 2000. He was awarded his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD in Physics) in 2003 from the University of Southampton[2], United Kingdom. During his postgraduate research he investigated the physics of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities under the supervision of Jeremy Baumberg[3]. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany[4], focusing on the optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors and colloidal nanoparticles.
He is the brother of physicist Konstantinos Lagoudakis[5].
Academic career
In 2006, Lagoudakis was awarded a Roberts Fellowship and joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton, UK, as a lecturer. In 2008, he was appointed to a personal chair (2008-2024) and later became Director for Research in the Department of Physics and Astronomy (2013–2019)[6]. Between 2011 and 2014, he chaired the University’s Nanoscience Research Strategy Group. Between 2013-2014, he was a visiting professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2008, he was awarded a JSPS academic research fellowship at the University of Hokkaido, Japan, where he collaborated with Oliver Wright[7]. In 2016, he established the Hybrid Photonics Laboratory at Skoltech[8]. Between 2024 and 2025, Lagoudakis has served as a Distinguished Professor[9], Director of the Center for Photonic Science and Engineering[10], and Senior Vice President for Basic Research at Skoltech. Since 2025, Lagoudakis is serving as Provost for Research and Education at Skoltech[11].
Research
Lagoudakis’s research spans light–matter interactions, hybrid photonic systems, and quantum fluids of light [12].
