Research
Her research interests focus on the quality on the coastal environment with emphasis to organic pollutants. She is carrying out research on abiotic and biotic processes which may influence the fate and behavior of organic substances in environmental matrices as well as to the toxicity evaluation of individual compounds and mixtures by the use of marine microalga. She has experience in analytical techniques used for the determination of priority substances in environmental samples (water, sediments and organisms).
She has developed scientific cooperation’s with the Oceanlab (University of Aberdeen), the University of Federico II (Naples, Italy), the Laboratory of Ecotoxicology, Ifremer (Nantes, France), and she has been the Scientific Coordinator of research projects and has participated in European and National research projects related to Water Quality. She has over 20 publications in peer reviewed journals and related number in International Conferences.
Teaching
Αt the undergraduate level she is giving lectures of General and Analytical Chemistry, Marine Pollution and Aquatic Τoxicology. At the graduate level and since 2001, she participated at the M.Sc. “Management of Coastal Areas” by teaching chapters on biogeochemical processes.
