Biography
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Information Systems in the School of Business, Management and Economics at the University of Sussex, UK; a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA); and the Secretary of the IFIP Working Group 9.5 on Virtuality and Society.
Following my BSc (hons) in Economics (Piraeus; 2001-2006) and MSc in Management and Strategic Information Systems (Bath; 2006-2007), and a short management career in Madrid, Spain (2008-2009), I returned to Bath to pursue my PhD with the support of an EPSRC scholarship (2009-2014). I then worked as a Research Associate (Post-doc) at Royal Holloway, University of London (2013-2015), and was appointed Lecturer at Sussex in early 2015. I was given tenure in May 2017. I have also taught at the University of Bath (2010-2012), at Birkbeck, University of London (2015), and at the University of Valencia, Spain (2016-2017). I speak English, Greek and Spanish fluently, and German and Portuguese at intermediate level.
I teach in the areas of information systems, project management, innovation management, and research methods, and I am involved in numerous research project supervisions (at the BSc, MSc, MBA, and PhD levels). My research focuses on the management of technology-mediated dispersed environments, such as dispersed (virtual) teams and dispersed (online) communities, as well as on the management of work-life boundaries in the digital age. I have published 4 journal articles, 7 book chapters, and 28 conference items (click here for my extant publications). I have also (co-)organized 5 tracks/sessions at international conferences. I finally maintain strong links with practitioners through research-informed workshops, consultancy and executive training within my areas of expertise.

Visual & Online Dissemination Outputs
My research has begun to be disseminated to non-academic communities through innovative ways.

Three Implications of Our Digi Lives
Work-Life Boundaries in the Digital Age
