Assistant Professor in the School of Forestry and Natural Environment at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), the field of “Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing in Forest Ecosystems.” I received my BSc (with integrated Masters) and PhD degrees from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at AUTH. From 2014 to 2023, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Forest Management and Remote Sensing at AUTH. Through my participation in many European and national research programs and projects, I have gained expertise—among other things—in the use of modern Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) in research and applications related to wildfires management, mapping land cover / land use and detecting their changes, and postfire monitoring of natural ecosystems.
