Research Interests
Inorganic and Bioinorganic chemistry with emphasis in the field of metal ions interaction with molecules presenting potential biochemical interest (peptides, coenzymes, oligonucleotides, synthetic models of metalloenzymes). Study of the coordination chemistry of metal complexes with biologically relevant ligands in both solid state and solution by means of physiochemical and spectroscopic methods (potentiometry, IR-Raman, UV-Vis, multinuclear and multidimensional NMR, EPR etc).
Investigation of the possible role of selected metal ions in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes with potential uses as emitters for OLED devices or sensitizers for dye sensitized solar cells (in progress).
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 (May 2021), I have supervised nine postgraduate students (8 M.Sc + 1 PhD)
Currently (May 2021), I supervise six postgraduate students (2 Ph.D+ 4 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.
