WELCOME

Having aquired a Diploma in Electrical Engineering and a Masters Degree in Advanced Digital Communication atthe Aristotle University in Greece, and after having worked as a software engineer and GUI developer, and as an educator in both formal and informal settings for 10 years, in January 2008 I decided to leave Greece and get enrolled at the Graduate Program in the pioneer School of Engineering Education at Purdue University.

In August 2011 I acquired my Doctoral Degree in Engineering Education. After serving as a postdoctoral associate within the MIT-SUTD Collaboration for three years, I am currently appointed as a research scientist at the MIT Office of Digital Learning.

My research, although situated within the broader field of STEM education research, mainly focuses on the engineering and technology components at the K-12 and higher education levels. Through my research I have been focusing on developing new educational content and technologies, exploring cutting-edge pedagogies, identifying the optimum age and method to introduce STEM related content to different learner groups, developing new national and international Engineering programs/schools, developing new programs to support teacher professional development in regards to bringing STEM in class, and translating findings of all aforementioned research areas into suggestions for new programs, schools, and educational policies.
