She specializes in the topic of Quantitative Rockfall Risk Assessment. While a PhD student she obtained a Marie Curie fellowship within the Mountain Risks training network. As a post-doctoral researcher she obtained a Marie Curie European Reintegration grant for the project Risk-Less on rockfall hazards and risks. In 2014 she was awarded with the Fellowship of BBVA for Innovators, Researchers and Cultural Creators, to work on the vulnerability of the built environment to rockfalls.

In 2016 she joined the ITC-Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Οbservation of the University of Twente, as an Assistant Professor on natural hazards. She focuses on the risk assessment due to slope instabilities in Nepal, Indonesia, Colombia and China. Since 2021, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of West Attica.

Her research interests include the assessment of slope stability with emphasis on rocky slope stability, the use of remote sensing techniques for assessing the size and frequency of rockfall events, the quantitative risk analysis and the assessment of the vulnerability of the built environment.

She has respectively 31 and 56 publications in international scientific journals and conferences and about 1896 citations, and 7 book chapters. She has participated in 20 European, national research and research programs in collaboration with the local government and other public and private sector entities in Greece, Spain and the Netherlands (Safeland, Risk-Less, Mountain Risks, WIND CHIME, RockRIsk, RockModels, Georisk…). She is a reviewer at 12 SCI journals, a member of the committee of the “Natural Hazards Division’s Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award” of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and a COST action evaluator.

At the University of West Attica she teaches courses related to Geotechnical Engineering. To date, she has participated in the supervision of doctoral, postgraduate and undergraduate thesis. She is a regular member of the teaching staff and the scientific committee of the international summer school “LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation”, organized by the University of Salerno, Italy, and she holds the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ-University of Twente).
