Visiting Researcher

Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry, University of McGill, Montreal, Canada (Prof Ian.S.Butler) 1997 (2 months) and  2004 (1 month)

Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry, Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Debrecen, Hungary (Prof. Imre Sovago), 1998 (2 months)

Research Interests

Our research focuses on Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry, with a specific emphasis on the interaction of metal ions with biologically relevant ligands (such as peptides, coenzymes, oligonucleotides, and synthetic models of metalloenzymes) in solution.
Investigation of the role of metal ions in the pathogenesis of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Synthesis-characterization and photophysical properties of novel luminescent transition metal complexes with potential applications in various fields

Teaching

Teaching of introductory, intermediate and advanced Inorganic Chemistry (theory and lab practice- 1st , 2nd and 4th year of the undergraduate curriculum) and at the graduate level for the students of the Department of Chemistry.

Until now (Feb 2024), I have supervised ten postgraduate students (9 M.Sc + 1 PhD)

Currently (Feb 2024), I supervise four postgraduate students (2 Ph.D+ 2 M.sc)

Academic supervisor-tutor for chemistry students participating in  the “Practical Training” program (involves a two months period working in the Greek labour market related to chemistry (private laboratories, food or drug industries, hospitals, etc) for experience acquiring.
