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 also been working on classical discrete integrable systems and integrable field theories, in particular on Hamiltonian methods as well as dressing techniques and solitons in integrable ODEs & PDEs.

More details about my research can be found on 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.  From 2019-2022 I was the Director of Research (Associate Executive Dean of Research) of the School of Mathematical & Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University. I am in the editorial board of Journal of Non-Associative Structures and Journal of Physics Communications.
