He holds an M.Sc. in Engineering Geology from Imperial College, an M.Sc. in Tunneling and a Ph.D. from National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He was a Lecturer and Visiting Lecturer in Engineering Geology/ Rock Mechanics in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in Imperial College, London.
He was Visiting Fellow in the Institute of Geology & Geophysics in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) under the 2016 President’s International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI).
He has received an Honor from the Academy of Athens for his research and the Richard Wolters Prize by the International Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) in 2012.
He has authored 60 publications in scientific peer-reviewed journals and international Conferences and his research has a strong scientific impact.
He is an Editorial Board Member in the Bulletin of Engineering Geology of IAEG since 2012 and reviewew for a number of scientific journals in Engineering Geology and Rock Mechanics.
He has extensive experience in consulting in Civil Engineering projects (highways, tunnels, slope stability, dams) in Greece and abroad.
His research interests include the engineering behavior of rocks and rockmasses, weak rocks and complex formations, the engineering geology of major infrastructure works, geological hazard evaluation and risk (landslides and rockfalls) as well as protection of cultural heritage sites.
