I am a Dipl. Civil Engineer, MEng in Hydraulic & Environmental Engineering, MSc in Coastal Engineering & Management, with a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics for Wave Modeling & Coastal Processes. I have worked on 16 GR/EU-funded research projects. My research work currently focuses on: numerical modeling for operational sea-state forecasts (waves, sea level & currents) in coastal areas & ports; storm surge coastal flood modeling; seawater quality modeling & monitoring in Mediterranean gulfs.
