Panagiotis Kotetes recently embarked on an Associate Research Scientist appointment at BAQIS. Before that, he held a faculty position at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, where he served as an Associate Professor for six years (2019-2024). During 2015-2018 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His first postdoctoral appointment took place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where he worked for five years. Panagiotis carried out his Diploma, Masters, and Ph.D. studies at the National Technical University of Athens in Greece.

Panagiotis’ research interests and activity cover the topics of topological systems, unconventional superconductivity, exotic magnetism, and quantum computing. To date, he has published more than 45 scientific articles in journals including Physical Review X and Physical Review Letters, while he has been the single author of the book “Topological Insulators”. Panagiotis has been a recipient of a number of NSFC (RFIS-II, RFIS-I, 面上) and MOST grants as a principal investigator, these including the NSFC Research Fund for International Excellent Young Scientists (RFIS-II). Finally, in 2022 he was recognised as an Outstanding Reviewer for Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, while in 2024 he won the Outstanding Referee Award of the American Physical Society which is a lifetime achievement.
