After carrying out pioneering post-doctoral research in the field of nanotechnology at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and having led numerous research projects in materials science, <strong>Dr. Papadopoulos<\/strong> decided to enter the business world in 2013 with the vision of bridging scientific evolution with every day products. <br \/>His main field of expertise is nano-materials, including nano-coatings, nano-powders, mono-disperse nanoparticles, hydrocolloids, spinel ferrites, core-shell nano-structures, nano surfactants and composites. He specializes in chemical processing by advanced techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sol-gel, co-precipitation and thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds. <br \/>He holds 5 world patents and two national patents in the above fields. The Orbite Process (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Orbite_Technologies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Orbite_Technologies<\/a>) which exploits industrial waste for producing valuable products in a 50-million-dollar pilot plant in Canada was based on the findings of his patent <strong>WO2010\/079369A1<\/strong>. Various other funded projects, such as the \u20ac3.5 million EU-funded \u201cHellenic-Ref\u201d, the primary objective of which was the facile production of hydrogen from sea water with the aid of magnetic catalysts, have been based on his patents, too. <br \/><strong>Dr. Papadopoulos<\/strong> received his degree of Metallurgical Engineer from NTUA. In the following year, he was granted his Master\u2019s degree in the field of Materials Science and Technology at the School of Chemical Engineering. In 2010 he defended his doctoral dissertation on the field of magnetic ultra-thin films. He has published more than 30 articles in scientific peer reviewed journals of high impact factor and citations to his articles exceed 200. He speaks fluently English and German.<br \/>At <strong>BFP<\/strong>, <strong>Dr. Papadopoulos<\/strong> serves as CEO. He is also the Head of Research and Development of the company\u2019s current product line, being the primary inventor, as well as the Coordinator of various EU-funded projects in collaboration with renowned Institutes and Universities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-552357599\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1938125135\" class=\"col medium-3 small-6 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n    <div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n                  <div class=\"box-image \" style=\"width:80%;\">\n           <div class=\"box-image-inner image-cover\" style=\"border-radius:100%;padding-top:100%;\">\n              <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/bfp-tech.gr\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/team.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bfp-tech.gr\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/team.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bfp-tech.gr\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/team-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/bfp-tech.gr\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/team-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>                         <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n         \n          <div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n                <div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n                  <h4 class=\"uppercase\">\n                    <span class=\"person-name\">Sotirios Xafakis<\/span><br\/>\n                    <span class=\"person-title is-small thin-font op-7\">\n                      Production and sales manager                    <\/span>\n                  <\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons\" ><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" data-label=\"Facebook\" class=\"icon plain facebook tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Follow on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" ><i class=\"icon-facebook\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"tel:#\" data-label=\"Phone\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon plain phone tooltip\" title=\"Call us\" aria-label=\"Call us\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" ><i class=\"icon-phone\" ><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#\" data-label=\"LinkedIn\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon plain linkedin tooltip\" title=\"Follow on LinkedIn\" aria-label=\"Follow on LinkedIn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" ><i class=\"icon-linkedin\" ><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1952095789\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1952095789 {\n  padding-top: 10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n                <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\t\n    \n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1508861633\" class=\"col medium-3 small-6 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Production and sales manager of <strong>BFP<\/strong> is <strong>Mr. Sotirios Xafakis<\/strong>. <strong>Mr. Xafakis<\/strong> has an extensive professional experience, often holding positions of high responsibility.
