I studied medicine at the Aristotele University of Thessaloniki as a scholar of the State Scholarship Foundation (1966-1972).

 

I specialized in Neurology and Psychiatry in the Psychiatric Clinic of the

I was promoted to senior Neurologist of the same Clinic in 1985. The same year I obtained my doctorate at the Medical School of the Ruhr-University of Bochum with my work "Comparison of surface and concentric needle recording electrodes in motor nerve conduction studies" and became a member of the German EEG Society (today German Society of Clinical Neurophysiology) after successful testing, with particular subject area the Electromyography.

 

In 1990 I was granted by a special committee of the German Society for Clinical Neurophysiology the title of the trainer in clinical electromyography and immediately after I took the direction of the Laboratory of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Neurology Clinic in St Josef Hospital Bochum.

The same year I was appointed to the position of Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Crete.

 

In 2008 I evolved to Associate Professor of Neurology with particular object “Clinical Neurophysiology and Neuromuscular Disorders”.
