He studied Chemistry at the Aristotelian University in Thessaloniki and obtained his PhD from the University of Crete in Greece. After a postdoc at McGill University, he continued to Universitat Ulm in Germany as an Alexander von Humbold Research Fellow. His research focuses on the development and application of high resolution liquid and solid state NMR methodologies for the analysis of small molecules and biomolecules in foods and cultural heritage materials, using chemometrics and metabolomics. He is also the co-author of “NMR Spectroscopy in Food Analysis”, a monograph published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
