Bywgraffiad
I am Lecturer in Maritime Economics and Transport in the Logistics and Operations Management Section of Cardiff Business School. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE). I joined Cardiff Business School in June 2022.
I was awarded a UK ESRC 3+1 Scholarship to do a PhD in 2015. The topic of my PhD Thesis is: Feasibility of the Northern Sea Route: Cases from the oil product tanker market. I hold a MSc in International Transport from Cardiff Business School and a MSc in Social Science Research Methods from Cardiff University. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Economics from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. I spent some time on board an icebreaker in the Bay of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea during the ice season of 2017, where I had the opportunity to conduct observation and collect data related to maritime operations on ice-infested waters.
I was invited to present my work at Normandy Business School, France in March 2018, and at the University of Tokyo, Japan, in March 2022. I was invited to contribute to edited books. I presented my work in conferences such as the International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME) and the Logistics Research Network (CILT-LRN) conference.

Addysgu
I teach at the MSc Maritime Policy and Shipping Management programme.
- Maritime Economics
- Shipping Management and Finance
- Maritime Policy
My research interests and expertise are in the areas of Shipping Economics, Transport Geography, Arctic shipping, and Commodity Markets.
