I hold an MSc in Electronic Physics 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 14 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 field. For over the last 8 years, I have been teaching courses in electrical and electronic engineering at different Academic organizations. Currently, I am a Lecturer at the Hellenic Naval Academy and an Academic Associate at the University of West Attica and the Metropolitan College of Athens. Regarding activity as a researcher, I am a Research Associate at the Manhattan College, USA, and the National Centre for Security Studies, GREECE, where I have been coordinating EU research programs related to sensor platforms.
