I provide weather forecasts and develop algorithms based on station and satellite data (meteo.gr). I have been responsible for meteo.gr social media accounts since 2017.Scientific peer-reviewed publications include studies on deep moist convection, medicanes, lightning forecasting, flash-floods, and extreme conditions during significant wildfires.

The European Storm Forecast Experiment (ESTOFEX) provides severe weather outlooks for Europe.I perform quality control of the Greek severe weather data entries in the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD) since 2016.

Volos

"Meteovolos" is a website that provides weather forecasts for my hometown, Volos, Greece. It also provides tools under development, such as maps for severe weather:http://meteovolos.gr/GFS_EM_panel.phphttp://meteovolos.gr/Obs_GR.php

During this contract, I used geostationary and polar-orbiting satellite data to detect deep moist convection during Mediterranean Hurricanes. https://doi.org/10.1002/asl.823

Fluid dynamics - Dynamic Meteorology courses to undergraduate students.MODAL «Geophysics and Environment» for academic years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. Assisting during the Fluid Dynamics of Sustainability and the Environment (FDSE) summer school 2019, held jointly by the University of Cambridge and Polytechnic School of Paris. I performed experiments about gravity currents, convection, and the dynamics of rotating fluids. Lectures included the theoretical basis for shallow water equations and potential vorticity.
