Department of Chemical Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1997)

Ph.D. Thesis

Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, University of Ioannina (2006), “The study of biological removal mechanisms of pollutants from potable water using trickling filters”

Research Interests

• Drinking water / wastewater treatment using physicochemical and, particularly, biological processes to optimize technique performance.

• Supervision of treatment plants for the biological removal of water pollutants (e.g., ammonia, iron, manganese) and the biological treatment of industrial wastewater (e.g., dairy, olive mill, table olive, winery, piggery, hexavalent chromium, leachates, etc.).

• Process modelling, leading to the design of effective and economic systems for drinking water and wastewater treatment.

• Application of microalgae/cyanobacteria for the treatment of wastewater followed by product recovery
