Research experience

a) Research :

From June 1981 to December 1982, I worked in Experimental devices in the Laboratory of the Physics of the Atmosphere, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Particularly, I took part in field measurements of air pollutants in the city and the broader area of Thessaloniki. With the installation and the assistance of a local area Computer Network, the observation, the measurement and the processing of data pertaining to the concentrations of the above pollutants has been automated.
