Profile

I completed my first degree in Physics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) in 2008. Then, I started my postgraduate studies at the University of Leicester (UK) and completed my M.Sc. in Business Analysis and Finance in 2009 with distinction. I continued at the same institution as a Ph.D. student in Economics and graduated in 2014.

I had been employed by the University of Leicester during 2009-2013 and I have also worked for a year at the University of Sheffield. In September 2014, I initiated my employment at the University of Surrey as a Teaching Fellow. I was promoted to Senior Teaching Fellow in July 2020 (with effect from 1 January 2021).
