I am currently a professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Washington State University. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, UC Berkeley and the Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I conducted research on nanoscale fluid dynamics and mechanical properties of DNA. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Crete, Greece, under the suprvision of Prof. George Tsironis.
