I am a multi-award-winning London-based and Greece-based architect whose practice overlaps designing and building, academic research and university teaching. My professional work and academic research have attracted several international design awards, research grants and scholarships while the work has been widely published and exhibited internationally.
I teach design studio, technology and sustainability modules and supervise dissertations and theses at all levels of studies, from undergraduate to PhD level. I have previously taught in Greece and at institutions in the UK, such as The University of Sheffield, Kingston School of Art, University of Hertfordshire, Central St Martins and the Architectural Association.
I am completing a PhD in Architectural Design (part-time) at The Bartlett School of Architecture. I have received international scholarships for studies and research grants for sabbaticals, impact activities and archival research. I am a reviewer for international associations and academic journals. I am a member of sustainability pressure and engagement workgroups in the UK and internationally, such as the Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN).
