He holds a PhD from the Department of Chemistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), where he completed his doctoral dissertation on the development and application of spectroscopic techniques for the study of metal artefacts from ancient Macedonia.

He completed his postgraduate studies in the Interdepartmental Programme “Protection, Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Monuments” at the Faculty of Engineering of AUTH. He is a graduate of the Department of Chemistry, School of Sciences, AUTH, with a specialization in Analytical Chemistry, as well as of the Department of Conservation of Antiquities & Works of Art, Technological & Educational Institute of Athens, specializing in the conservation of painted works.

He has authored articles in scientific journals of analytical chemistry and archaeometry. His research interests focus primarily on the physicochemical study of ancient gold, silver and copper alloys, the identification of ancient pigments, the non-invasive application of analytical techniques, and the combined use of spectroscopic methods for the study of cultural heritage materials.

He participates as a presenter in international conferences and symposia and serves as a reviewer for scientific journals.

He works at the Department of Chemical, Physical Research and Archaeometry of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, where he serves as Head of the Department. From 1996 to 2010, he worked at the 10th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities (now the Ephorate of Antiquities of Chalkidiki & Mount Athos), contributing to projects involving the study and interventive conservation of portable icons, wall paintings and woodcarvings objects from Mount Athos and the region of Chalkidiki.
