PhD 2016

I hold a PhD in International Relations from University College London (2016) where I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for four years receiving excellent feedback. During that time I also received my Postgraduate Teaching Certificate from the Institute of Education of the University of London. Besides my teaching experience I have published a series of academic peer reviewed articles and have contributed to edited volumes. Also, at the moment I am in the process of publishing my doctoral thesis as a monograph at Routledge. This demonstrates that besides an in depth understanding of courses on Government and Politics I also pay attention in my work to academic writing. Last but not least, I have worked in different capacities in the policy sector (i.e. Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Greece, International Centre for Black Sea Studies, etc.) and since 2015 I have been working as a Senior Analyst for an investment firm analysing geopolitical trends and development in the world that might affect the financial markets. This has improved my teaching skills as I often refer to contemporary developments, themes and patterns in the world to show how they related to theoretical concepts
