Agronomist, entomologist, bee parataxonomist. My academic foundation includes a BSc and an MSc in Crop Science, followed by a PhD in Agricultural Entomology from the Agricultural University of Athens, focused on supporting pollinators and natural enemies of crop pests in Mediterranean agroecosystems. To expand my international research perspective, I completed an MSc Erasmus+ internship at Imperial College London. My professional trajectory includes research tenures at the Benaki Phytopathological Institute and the Hellenic Agricultural Organization – Demeter, alongside delivering autonomous and postgraduate lectures at the Democritus University of Thrace. Experience across multiple EU-funded projects (including Horizon 2020, Biodiversa+, PRIMA, EFSA, DG ENV, IUCN, and GSRI), from wild bee monitoring to evaluation of ecological tools like flowering strips and landraces for agroecosystem resilience and conservation biological control of crop pests. My active projects center on mapping threatened bee species in Greece, reviewing EU youth educational frameworks on pollinator awareness and conservation for the European Schoolnet, and building national taxonomic capacity for bee identification in collaboration with the University of the Aegean. I am a member of the seven-member Board of Directors of the Hellenic Entomological Society (2025–2027). Publication records: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0661-4946
