Short CV

  • BSc in Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1986)
  • PhD in Zoology, Department of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1991)
  • MA in European History, Department of History and Archaeology, University of Athens (2006)

She has attended special training course in Electric Fishing (Certificate by Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, UK, 2012).

During 1988-1990, she has held a position as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Neurobiology, Free University of Berlin, Germany and, during 1991, at the Department of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. During 1992-1995, she has held a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.

From 2001 to 2016, she worked as a Research Associate at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research and since 2016 as a Research Assistant.

Her current research interests include Biodiversity conservation, Ecology, biology and diet of endemic fish species and interactions of endemic freshwater fish species with alien species. She has participated in 24 national and international projects, in 6 as scientific coordinator or project manager. In 2010, she became a visitor Lecturer at the University of Athens, Department of Methodology, History and Theory of Science, and taught the module of “Selected topics in the history of medicine” for the spring semester.

She has contributed 56  papers in peer-reviewed journals and co-authored 1 book, as well as more than 50 other publications (i.e., conference proceedings, special publications) and 7 technical reports, while she also co-authored another 17 technical reports.
