I hold an MSc in Physics (Sensors’ Concentration) from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in California, USA, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. After serving for 17 years as a Naval Officer and 3 years as a Naval Faculty member, I decided to pursue my passion for a career in the Academic/Research field. Currently, I am a Lecturer at the Hellenic Naval Academy, teaching courses related to Electro-optical Systems and Radars, and an Academic Associate at the University of West Athens on a post-graduate level, teaching courses related to UAVs Antenna patterns. Regarding my recent activity as a researcher, it is focused on the sensors’ research and development, and specifically the IR region through the investigating of optimization methods applied to IR Innovative Systems. Lastly, I am the author of the book that is used for teaching purposes in the Hellenic Naval Academy “Electro–optical Systems. An introduction”, and an expert at the observatory of critical technologies of the European Commission.
