The Innovative Research Award recognizes research that contributes to the development of new knowledge, methods, technologies, or applications. This article presents a structured academic recognition profile for Evangelos Petrakis, identified in the supplied information with the Technical University of Crete in Greece and the research area of Advanced Materials Engineering. The profile includes researcher identifiers, bibliometric indicators provided for reference, selected publications supplied for bibliographic context, and a discussion of research evaluation considerations.[1] [2]

Abstract

This article documents an academic recognition profile associated with the Innovative Research Award and the International PopularScientist Awards. The supplied profile identifies Evangelos Petrakis with the Technical University of Crete, Greece, and lists Advanced Materials Engineering as the subject area. The accompanying bibliometric figures are reported as 32 documents, 609 citations, and an h-index of 16; these values are reproduced as supplied and should be checked against the current indexed author record before being used for formal evaluation. [1] [2]

Keywords

Evangelos Petrakis; Innovative Research Award; International PopularScientist Awards; Technical University of Crete; Greece; Advanced Materials Engineering; research assessment; bibliometrics; Scopus author profile; ORCID; scholarly publications; research impact; scientific recognition.

Introduction

Academic recognition profiles provide a concise overview of a researcher’s institutional association, identifiers, scholarly output, and potential contributions to a field. Such profiles can help readers locate authoritative records and understand the evidence considered in an award assessment. They are most useful when profile data, publication attribution, and bibliometric indicators are clearly distinguished from evaluative conclusions. Scopus and ORCID provide complementary routes for checking author identity and publication information, although indexed records may require careful disambiguation when names or subject areas overlap. [1] [3]

Research Profile

The supplied information associates Evangelos Petrakis with the Technical University of Crete in Greece. The listed subject area is Advanced Materials Engineering. The provided identifiers are Scopus Author ID 22433575600 and ORCID 0000-0003-4412-266X. These identifiers can be used to investigate the corresponding author records, institutional associations, and publication metadata. An identifier match alone, however, does not establish that every publication appearing in the supplied material belongs to the same individual. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

Advanced Materials Engineering encompasses the design, characterization, processing, and application of materials for technical and industrial uses. Research in this broad area may involve polymer systems, functional nanomaterials, surface engineering, biomaterials, and the development of methods to improve material performance. Evaluating contributions requires attention to the research question, methodological rigor, reproducibility, novelty, and evidence of practical or scientific significance.

Publications

The following bibliographic records were supplied as source material. They are included to preserve the provided research context, not to assert that each work was authored by Evangelos Petrakis. The listed contributor names and author metadata should be checked against the original articles before these records are incorporated into a verified publication list.

  1. “Hydrogel tissue expanders for stomatology. Part I. Methacrylate-based polymers.” Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine (2017).
  2. “Infantile hemangiomas. Current treatment procedures” (also supplied with a Czech-language title). Czech-Slovak Pediatrics (2017). The supplied record lists J. Malis, V. Stara, K. Blahova, H. Bučkova, R. Faberova, J. Šterba, S. Klovrzova, M. Kynčl, M. Černy, R. Hrdlička, and additional contributors.
  3. “Direct and indirect treatment of pain with lasers – Update 2016.” Disease (2016, as supplied). The record lists R. Šmucler and J. Jenčová as contributors. Journal metadata and DOI should be confirmed against the publisher or an authoritative bibliographic database.

Research Impact

The supplied metrics—32 documents, 609 citations, and an h-index of 16—offer quantitative indicators that may help frame a research assessment. Citation counts reflect how often indexed works are cited within a particular database and can vary according to coverage, publication type, discipline, and citation practices. The h-index combines productivity and citation information but does not independently measure originality, societal benefit, methodological quality, or the importance of an individual contribution. [9]

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award is presented here as the recognition category associated with the supplied profile. A reasoned assessment of suitability would normally examine originality, significance, methodological quality, evidence of independent contribution, publication integrity, and the relevance of the work to the award’s stated criteria. It should also consider the disciplinary context in which research output and citation indicators are interpreted.

Conclusion

This academic recognition profile records the supplied association of Evangelos Petrakis with the Technical University of Crete in Greece and the Innovative Research Award under the International PopularScientist Awards. It lists the provided Scopus identifier, ORCID, subject area, and bibliometric figures, while distinguishing those supplied details from independently verified evidence. The publication examples included in the source material involve multiple named contributors and have not been established as works by the profiled researcher.
