Konstantinos Gerasopoulos completed his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in August 2008. His thesis, entitled "Nanostructured nickel-zinc microbatteries using the Tobacco mosaic virus", reports the development of the first MEMS-based microbattery device utilizing a virus-structured cathode electrode. The devices exhibited a six-fold increase in capacity compared to planar geometries, as a result of increased surface area. Konstantinos is currently pursuing his Ph.D. degree in MSE at UMD.
