I joined the dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Nazarbayev University in the summer of 2015. I hold a diploma in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. My Ph.D. in Engineering is from the same institution. I have previously worked as a research associate at the school of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in the National Technical University, as a lecturer at the dept. of Naval Architecture, Technological and Educational Institute of Athens (University of West Attica), and for the last year, before joining, served as an assistant professor at the Technological and Educational Institute of Athens (University of West Attica). I have actively participated in more than 18 EU and national funded research projects and I act as a reviewer for several CAD/CAGD and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering journals.
