I was born in Thiva, a small town near Athens. I studied biology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), where also I received my MSc degree in 2007 and my Ph.D degree in 2014. My Ph.D. was supervised by S.Sgardelis and was supported by the grant Heraclitus II (Greece and European Union co-financing). My thesis focused on spatial patterns of diversity with an emphasis on the species turnover, and their contribution to species area relationship.
Since 2014, I had the chance to work on POL-AEGIS project and enter the fascinating world of pollinators. Working in POL-AEGIS team, we explored the effect of fire in shaping diversity patterns of flower-visiting insects.
