My academic journey began with a strong interest in analytical chemistry and its applications in health and environmental sciences. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Ioannina, Greece, in 2020. After fulfilling my military service, I completed my Master’s degree at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2024, specialising in bioanalysis and pharmaceutical analysis.

I gained practical experience as a member of Biomic_AUTH from September 2022 to December 2023, where I developed and validated a HILIC-MS/MS method for the determination of acylcarnitines in dried blood spots. I also contributed to additional projects, further enhancing my skills in advanced mass spectrometry and chromatography techniques. Alongside this, I expanded my knowledge through an Erasmus research assistant position at the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Liège, from January to June 2023. During this time, I assisted in developing analytical methods for quantifying parathyroid hormone (PTH), amino-PTH, and its fragments in plasma.

In the summer of 2023, I attended the Molecular Medicine Summer School at the University Hospital of Jena as a scholarship recipient, gaining invaluable insights into molecular medicine, bioinformatics, and analytical chemistry. After completing my thesis, I joined DEMO Pharmaceuticals in Thessaloniki in January 2023, where I worked throughout the year, focusing on the development and validation of HPLC methods for pharmaceutical applications.

As a MobiliTraIN doctoral candidate, my goal is to integrate ion mobility into non-targeted screening workflows to enhance safety, assess exposure risks, and advance public health. I look forward to exploring innovative, interdisciplinary solutions that combine my background with cutting-edge technologies to contribute to addressing health-related challenges.
