Trained as an oenologist at the University of West Attica in Athens, I completed my studies with a PhD in oenology at the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences – ISVV (University of Bordeaux, Oenology Research Unit). My thesis focused on studying the typical fruity aromatic expression of Bordeaux red wines through perceptual interactions. Awarded the prize for the best thesis defended in 2012 on aromas (GIRACT), my results allowed me to continue research on this topic through two postdoctoral positions. I joined Bordeaux Sciences Agro in the fall of 2017 as an Associate Professor in Oenology, and I am now the director of an international program, the Master of Science in Vineyard and Winery Management at Bordeaux Sciences Agro. My research is conducted within the Oenology Research Unit, under the “Determinants of Sensory Properties” axis at ISVV. My research aims to study the aromatic expression of red wines from both chemical and sensory perspectives.
