BIOGRAPHY

I hold a BSc degree in Mathematics from University of Patras (Greece), a MSc degree in Applied Mathematics from University of Athens (Greece) and a Doctorate of Sciences degree from University of Oulu (Finland). Prior to my appointment at Xiamen University Malaysia, I have held research posts at Khalifa University (UAE), at Qatar University (Qatar) and at University of Oulu (Finland). I sustain research links with: University of Athens (Greece), University of Thessaly (Greece), University of the Aegean (Greece) and Khalifa University (UAE).
