I am a sociologist and criminologist educated at Panteion University, where I completed an MA (scholarship for excellence) and a PhD on crime policy and punitive public attitudes, both awarded with highest honors. Since 2018 I have taught at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the University of West Attica, the Hellenic Open University, and Panteion, and I teach at the National School of Public Administration/INEP as registered core faculty of EKDDA. I serve as Special Scientist at the Greek National Commission for Human Rights, representing Greece in national and EU fora (Deputy Representative to EUCPN, alternate contact for the National Action Plan on Women, Peace & Security, and member of ENNHRI working groups), and have previously been Vice-President of the Central Council for Crime Prevention and Assistant to the EUCPN President during Greece’s 2014 EU Presidency. My publications include one monograph, six edited volumes, and 50+ scholarly works, with over 70 conference presentations. Research interests span criminology, crime policy, cultural criminology, human rights, gender-based violence, migration and refugee studies, and intersectional inequalities—aiming to inform evidence-based social policy and public debate.
