Education

Ptichion (4-year B.Sc.), Department of Physics, University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
PhD, Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, University of Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

Career

He has been involved with the University of Crete since its beginning, in 1978. He worked for two years (1979-81) as a postdoctoral fellow in the Institute of Physics, University of Oslo, Norway, and as a research associate (1984-85 and 1993-94) in the Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies, University of Saskatchewn, Canada. In 1985 he was elected assistant professor in the Department of Physics, University of Crete, received tenure in 1988 and later promoted to associate professor and then to full professor. Since 1985, he worked for several periods as a visiting scientist at the Max-Planck Institut für Aeronomie, Germany, the Université de Paris VI (Pierre and Marie Curie), and Université de Rennes I, France. Also I spent sabbatical leaves as a visiting professor at Max-Planck Institute, Germany, the Physics Department, University of Saskathewan, Canada and the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Nagoya University, Japan. In the Department of Physics, University of Crete, he was responsible for the Laboratory of Ionospheric Physics. He is retired since September 2014.
