Previous Research Experience:
Associate Professor
of Analytical Chemistry (Oct. 2008) Department of Chemistry, University
of Crete, Heraklion, Greece.
Tenured Assistant
Professor of Analytical Chemistry (Feb. 2007 - Oct. 2008) Department of
Chemistry, University of Crete,
Heraklion, Greece.
Assistant Professor
of Analytical Chemistry (April 2003 - Feb. 2007) Department of Chemistry,
University of Crete, Heraklion,
Greece.
Lecturer of Analytical
Chemistry, (Oct. 1997 - March 2003) Birkbeck
College, University of London, School of Biological and Chemical Sciences,
London, UK.
Postdoctoral Fellow
under the European Union "Training and Mobility of Researchers"
(March 1997 - September 1997) Programme at the Institute for Environmental
Studies, Free University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Research in the area
of organometallic speciation; emphasis on the development of electrospray
tandem mass spectrometric methods for the analysis of compounds of environmental
interest, e.g. organotins.
Postdoctoral Fellow
in Mass Spectrometry, (June 1996 - March 1997) Department of Chemistry,
Utrecht University, The Netherlands: Development and application of mass spectrometric
techniques (fast-atom bombardment and electrospray) for the structural characterisation
of biological compounds, e.g. glycoproteins, phospholipids, organometallics.
The majority of this work was conducted using a four sector mass spectrometer
and an electrospray quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Research Associate
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, (May 1994 - June 1996)
at the National Exposure Research Laboratory, Characterisation Research Division
in Las Vegas, NV. Research in the area of metal speciation using high-performance
liquid chromatography - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS).
Emphasis on advancements in interfacing capillary liquid chromatography with
ICP-MS. Packing capillary HPLC columns with a variety of stationary phases
and applying them for the separation of metal compounds (As, Sn, Pb, Sb) present
in environmental and biological samples. Development of capillary HPLC-electrospray
MS/MS techniques for the identification of metal compounds.
Research Assistant
(Part-time position from May 1, 1991 - Aug. 30, 1993), British Columbia Regional
Mass Spectrometry Centre, Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada; Responsibilities: Analysing samples submitted by various
research groups from the departments of Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Science,
Biology and Forestry. Techniques such as Electron Ionization, Desorption Chemical
Ionization (DCI), Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB), GC/MS, HPLC/MS (Thermospray
and Dynamic FAB) and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight
MS were used for such analyses.
