About

Overview

I trained as an economist at the Athens University of Economics and Business (now Economic University of Athens) in Greece. I then joined the International Centre for Shipping, Trade and Finance at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass); first as a student on its MSc programme, and then as a member of its academic staff, when I also received my PhD. I have served as Director of the MSc in Shipping, Trade & Finance, Associate Dean for the Undergraduate Programmes and Director of the MSc in Energy, Trade & Finance. I designed and launched the latter in 2003.

I lecture in energy economics, power & renewable markets, international commodity trade, commodity derivatives & trading, and shipping economics. My research interests are in the areas of energy derivatives, commodity economics and shipping economics.
