I graduated from the Physics Department of University of Patras (Greece) in 2011 and I got my M.Sc. degree in “Environmental Physics” in 2014 from the Physics Department of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Greece. My Ph.D. thesis (2023) dealt with the effects of aerosols and clouds in surface solar radiation and its forecasting (Ph.D. thesis: “Solar radiation/energy forecasting and measurements applications: the role of clouds and aerosols”), accomplished in the Laboratory of Climatology and Atmospheric Environment, of the Geology and Geoenvironment Department of NKUA (Greece).

Since 2019, I am working as a research fellow in the Institute of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) of the National Observatory of Athens, focusing on the impact of clouds and aerosols (especially dust) on solar radiation budget using surface, satellite, and model’s reanalysis data. Also, I am working on short term solar radiation/energy forecasting using satellite observations and assessment using ground-based measurements.
