Ph.D. Thesis

Department of Environment & Natural Resources Management, School of Engineering, University of Patras, PhD Thesis: "Photocatalytic degradation of priority organic pollutants in aquatic systems" (2014).

Research Interests

• Soil and Water Pollution Control.

• Determination of pollutants from anthropogenic activities using advanced analytical techniques and modern extraction and separation methods (SPE, QuEChERS, LLE) in environmental ecosystems and wastewaters.

• Biological control systems for ecotoxicity and genotoxicity of environmental pollutants (pesticides, pharmaceutical active compounds etc.).

• Transport and fate of organic pollutants (pesticides, veterinary pharmaceuticals etc.) in environmental systems.

• Development and application of advanced technologies (eg advanced oxidation technologies) for the treatment of water and liquid waste to preserve and improve the natural environment.

• Valorization of agro-food wastes/residues and plant species for the production of extracts using innovative extraction methods.
