I am a Civil Engineer graduated from Democritus University of Thrace, with postgraduate studies (MSc) at Swansea University and Imperial College, and received my PhD from the University of Manchester. I have worked in the private sector for more than 15 years, while I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Li\u00e8ge in Belgium with a European Union scholarship and at the University of Patras with a Ministry of Development scholarship. From 2022 I am an Assistant Professor at the Farm Structures Lab. My research interests are in engineering and technology applications in agricultural construction and agricultural plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have published more than 58 papers in international Scientific journals, and Stanford University has ranked me in the top 2% of scientists worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
