I am currently an assistant professor of Mathematics at Washington State University, Tri-Cities. I joined the department in August, 2012. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, UC Berkeley and the Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I conducted research on nanoscale fluid dynamics and mechanical properties of DNA. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Crete, Greece, under the suprvision of Prof. George Tsironis, and defended my doctoral thesis entitled “Nonlinear Localization in Model Systems and Materials” in March, 2003.
Presently, my research interests are in:
- Multiphysics/Multiscale Modeling
- Stochastic Differential Equations
- Nonlinear Dynamics
- Molecular and Fluid Dynamics
Application areas:
- Transport mechanisms in biological membranes
- Cell signaling
- Gene and Drug Deilvery
- Energy Storage and Transfer in Catalytic Residues
- DNA transcription and sequencing
