He is an expert in Remote Sensing and GIS, with emphasis in optical satellite image processing especially in high resolution data interpretation, as well as in close range remote sensing methods (UAS and TLS) used in geomorphology and natural hazards. His education includes BSc in Geology, MSc in Applied Geology and PhD in Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques. He is still collaborating with Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences Dpt at MIT (USA) after appointed as Post Doctoral Associate during 2006 and as Visiting Scientist during '07, '08, '10 and '18, as well as Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich at which after several visits ('07, '08, '14, '17, '19, '22) he collaborates at the Visiting Professor position. Currently he is teaching Remote Sensing, Geomorphology, GIS, Innovative Techniques for Field Mapping and Digital Mapping Applications for undergraduate students at the School of Geology & Geo-environment of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens where he is appointed as a Faculty member in Remote Sensing and Tectonic Geomorphology. He is also teaching the above-mentioned subjects to graduate students of the “Natural Hazards Prevention and Management”, “Geography & Environment” and “Ecology and Biodiversity Management” post-graduate programs.
