Bio
Born in Pafos Cyprus. He studied Chemical Engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He has a Masters in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D in Metallurgical Engineering & Materials Science from Carnegie-Mellon University (1990). He worked (1990-95) at the Central Research Institute of Mitsubishi Materials Corporation in Japan conducting research on Metal Hydrides and Hydrogen Technologies. He served (1995) as the first Director of the Frederick Research Center and he is a Professor at Frederick University. He is the co-owner of Hy-Cosmetics Ltd and Hystore Tech Ltd dealing with research on RES and Hydrogen Technologies: Hydrogen Production, Compression and Storage. He has participated in more than 20 National and European research projects. He has over 80 publications and 12 patents.
