Teaching Interests

I enjoy teaching business analytics, data visualization, decision analysis, project management, information systems development, and artificial intelligence.

Inspired by my Greek roots and the philosophy of Solon, "I grow old learning something new every day", I am currently attending the Postgraduate Diploma in Academic Practice (60 ECTS) at our university. Additionally, I have completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education (30 ECTS) at the University of Galway, Ireland.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes that each educator should function akin to an artificial intelligence system. This concept has two interpretations: firstly, educators must learn from their students and adapt their teaching content to meet students' needs.

Receiving nominations for the College Teaching Excellence Awards (2021 & 2024) and winning the "Dean's Award for Inclusive Teaching" at the University of Galway, Ireland, in 2022 respectively, reflects my commitment to innovative and student-centered teaching practices. These accolades encourage me to continually evolve as an educator, ensuring I provide the best learning experiences for my students.
