Active vascular surgeon, strongly believe that vascular surgery is more than hydraulics! Lucky and blessed to have studied under a great teacher (prof. A. Katsamouris) who taught me the principles of hemodynamics. Belief: computational simulations can overcome research obstacles to change the way we predict or evaluate outcomes. Current research field: delineation of hemodynamic behavior of endovascular grafts. Challenge: to teach young clinical colleagues to think as mathematicians and vice versa. I received my medical degree from university of Crete in 1998 -MSc in Endovascular Surgery from the Medical School of University of Athens (2011). My PhD Thesis (1999) focused on the computational simulation of the hemodynamic performance of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. I serve as Associate Professor of Vascular Surgery at Democritus University of Thrace, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece. My major scientific and research interests focus on the computational simulation of abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic endografts as well as peripheral arterial disease. I am actively involved in the pre- and postgraduate Academic Teaching of Vascular Surgery as clinical tutor and instructor in doctoral research projects. Author or coauthor of more than 200 scientific publications indexed in Pubmed and in 6 international book chapters relative to vascular surgery.
