Ms. V. Evageliou was born in Lamia. She studied Chemistry at the University of Athens and then, with a scholarship from the “Behaviour of Biopolymer Mixtures in Structuring Food Products” program, she obtained her Ph.D. degree from Cranfield University, UK. From 2002-2006, she taught at the University of Thessaly (Veterinary Department) and the Technological Institute of Lamia (Departments of Nursing and Physical Therapy). Since 2006, she is a member of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition of the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) as a Lecturer (2006-2012),  Assistant Professor (2012-2018) Associate Professor (2018-2025) and currently as Professor (2025-….)  in the field of Food Physical Chemistry.

Her scientific/research interests mainly include the study of the physicochemical properties of foods, the study of the functional properties of food biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharides), the applications of biopolymers in foods (e.g. encapsulation of bioactive components, retention of flavor components, etc.) as well as the study of gels, emulsions, edible films and coatings.

She has served as a reviewer in many international scientific journals and as a  member of the organizing committees of international and Greek scientific conferences. She is also a member of the Editorial board of the scientific journal Polysaccharides (MDPI). At the same time, she has participated in research programs at Cranfield University (U.K.), at University College Cork (Ireland) as well as in 11 research (national and international) programs at AUA. She has 47 publications in reputable international scientific journals, 9 chapters in conference proceedings, 2 chapters in books and a significant number of presentations at national and international conferences. Her research work presents >1300 references in international journals and books (h index=21).
