I am a mathematical physicist and my research focuses on quantum and classical integrable systems. Specifically, I have been studying  integrable quantum spin chains and the Bethe ansatz formulation, quantum algebras, braid groups, Hecke & Temperley-Lieb algebras, solutions of the Yang-Baxter & reflection equations, and their set-theoretic versions. I have been also working on classical discrete integrable systems and integrable field theories, in particular the Hamiltonian formulation, dressing methods, solitons & integrable PDEs/ODEs. More details about my research can be found in my personal webpage.

I studied physics as an undergraduate at National & Kapodistrian University of Athens. After receiving my PhD in theoretical physics from University of Miami in 1999 and until 2007 I held postdoctoral positions at Durham University, University of York (EPSRC Fellowship), LAPTH-Annecy and University of Bologna. I was assistant professor at University of Patras before joining Heriot-Watt University in 2013 as a reader.

I was the Director of Research of the School of Mathematical & Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University from 2019-2022. I am currently the convener of the Mathematical Physics Group in the Mathematics Department at Heriot-Watt University.
