My background is in physics in which I completed my undergraduate degree, choosing the direction of physical oceanography in Ocean Physics and Modelling Group Research laboratory, at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. As I am particularly interested in the ocean and the extreme climate events, I also investigated extreme snow events in the Mediterranean sea level and their linkages with the large-scale atmospheric circulation during my MSc degree in Oceanography and Climate in National Oceanography Center, Southampton. Within MARmaED I focus primarily on assessing the sources of uncertainty in the future projections of extreme thermal events (marine heat waves) in the Mediterranean Sea. Using a multi-model framework under different greenhouse gas emission scenarios I aim to understand the underlying mechanisms behind these events, offering key information to marine ecosystems and related fisheries that will be greatly affected by them.
I will conduct my PhD thesis in Centre National de Recherche Météorologique, Meteo France with Dr.Samuel Somot et Dr.Michel Deque as my supervisors.
