1. SUMMARY BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am a graduate of the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology of the Agricultural University of Athens (2002), holder of a Master’s Degree (MSc) in "Food Science and Technology" (2003) from the Department of Food Science and Technology and of a PhD Degree in Agricultural Sciences, scientific field of Food Microbiology, from the same University (2008). An important part of my doctoral thesis (2004‐08) was executed at the Units of: (i) Bacterial Biochemistry, and (ii) Bioadhesion and Hygiene of Materials, of the French National Institute of Agricultural Research

(INRA-AgroParisTech, Research Centre of Jouy‐en‐Josas, Paris), where I worked for 20 months, as a recipient of a European Union Marie Curie fellowship (for Early Stage Research Training). I conducted postdoctoral research at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Biotechnology of Foods at the Agricultural University of Athens, through a 12‐month scholarship provided by the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (IKY), whose main research interest was to study microbial interactions encountered in biofilms formed by food related bacteria and their influence on the disinfection resistance of these communities. I was appointed Lecturer of Food Microbiology at the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, University of the Aegean in 2010 and in 2014 was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor. So far, I have participated as a paid research assistant in 8 European research projects on topics of food microbiology and safety. I am author of 25 original research articles and reviews in international scientific peer‐reviewed journals (which have received over 540 citations, h index: 13, https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=14032869700), 5 chapters in collective English volumes, while I have also announced my research project 70 times in national (Greek) and international conferences (through 21 lectures and 49 posters). I have supervised over 20 Graduate Studies on food microbiology and safety issues. I am member of the editorial board of 6 Journals, Topic editor in “Frontiers in Microbial Physiology and Metabolism”, invited reviewer in 59 international scientific Journals related to applied (food) microbiology and more general to food science, reviewer of research proposals to the European Institutions, member of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), of the Hellenic Association of Food Technologists, of the food safety working group of the Greek Technology Platform "Food For Life", and integrated into the Unified Register of Trainers of Hellenic Food Authority (EFET), as a trainer of staff working in the food industry and food control agencies on topics of food hygiene and safety. My research interests include the study of the attachment of microorganisms to various surfaces and the formation of biofilms, as well as the factors (cellular, environmental) affecting these two processes, the study of the microbial physiology under stressful conditions (microbial stress response), the study of the microbial interactions and the mechanisms of cell‐to‐cell communication, the control of the undesirable microorganisms via novel and ecofriendly techniques (e.g. by using phytochemicals), the study and exploitation of the endogenous beneficial microflora of various fermented foods and the development of quick and reliable methods for the detection, identification, quantification and characterization of foodborne microorganisms.
