Awards & Distinctions

January 2017: award for the paper "Karst collapse susceptibility mapping considering peak ground acceleration in a rapidly growing urban area" in which I was co-author. It is among the five (5) most cited papers in the international journal "Engineering Geology" for the period January 2014 - June 2016. The award was given in recognition of the contribution of this paper to the quality of the journal "Engineering Geology". A certificate has been issued by Elsevier. This award is also mentioned in the "Internal Evaluation Report" of the Department of Geology and Geoenvironment of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens for the academic year 2016-2017.

May 2024: I was nominated by Faculty Members, Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD Candidates and Graduate Students for the Outstanding University Teaching Award for Faculty of the School of Sciences of NKUA for the Academic Year 2023-2024.
