Education:
- PhD in Clinical Medicine Research:
I have completed my PhD in the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery and the department of Surgery and Cancer. This work foccused on the development of surgical imaging devices exploiting mainly the phenomenon of fluorescence to visualise breast cancer. During my PhD, I have developed and clinically translated two such systems.
- MSc in Biomedical Engineering/ :
Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics and Imaging MSc graduate with Distinction (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, UK ).
- BSc in Physics:
Physics, Nuclear & Elementary Particle Physics BSc graduate (School of Physics, Faculty of Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece).
