E DUCATION

1991- 1996: Diploma in Mining Engineering - Metallurgy

National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

Department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering

Degree grade: 8.03

1998-2003: Ph.D. in Environmental Mining

National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

P ROFESSIONAL EXPERIE NCE

Lecturer, School of Mining Engineering & Metallurgy, National Technical University of

Athens, Greece.

Consultant in Private and Public Sectors (EPEM S.A., THEMELI S.A., I.G.M.E., etc.)

T EACHING EXPERIENCE

Environmental mining and quarry engineering (Special topics)

Exploitation of mines I (Introduction Mine development)

Exploitation of mines II (Mine ventilation)

Environment II (Environmental protection in mining and metallurgy)

Mechanical equipment and Mine haulage systems

Marble and industrial minerals

Design of surface mining

Mine valuation and mining legislation

R ESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Participation in 22 Research Projects asresearcher, in 1 as main rearscger and in 1 as co-

oordinator.

The majority of the research projects concerns the confrontation of the problems of mining

activity in Greece, taking into consideration technical, economic and environmental

criteria. More specifically:

Design of surfsace mining in order to optimize the environmental and economic

attributes of mining activity.

Investment analysis of extractive activities.

Strategic planning of aggregate quarrying activities taking into consideartion the

principle sof sustainable development.

Utilization of by-products and waste materials, in order to improve the technical,

economic and environmental indices of a quarrying activity (especially marble

quarries).

Reformation of the landscape of the final excavation pit and selection of the most

suitable post mining land uses, so as the rehabilitation of site can be affordable and

beneficial for the society.
