RESEARCH - WORKING ACTIVITIES

1982-1989: Doctorate Dissertation entitled "Photocatalytic Oxidation of Organic Compounds by Polyoxometallates of W and Mo".  Among other items, photocatalytical reactions have been studied, for the photochemical utilization of solar energy, as well as for utilization against pollution.

1983-1995: General Chemical State Laboratory (G.C.S.L.). Mainly experienced in laboratorial items such as Quality Control of Fuel, Foodstuff, Control of Environmental Pollution. On October of 1991 assigned with the organization of the "Pesticide Residues Laboratory" of the G.C.S.L, being experienced in pesticide residue analysis.

1995-today: Institute of Physical Chemistry, NCSR "Demokritos". Involved in the areas of photocatalysis by polyoxometallates/semiconducting oxides, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, photocatalytic synthesis of metal nanoparticles, method development for trace level organic and environmental analysis, investigation of the occurrence and fate of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment, investigation of processes in the aquatic environment.
