He is actively involved in a variety of research areas spanning from biomineralogy and biogeochemistry, to classical metallogenetic-models, of ore deposits. For this purposes he is mainly using field mapping, ore microscopy, electron microscopies, fluid inclusion microthermometry and stable isotope geochemistry, and various spectroscopies (i.e. STXM). He is fellow member of the Society of Economic Geologists(SEG), and the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA), and responsible for the Fluid Inclusion Microthermometry Lab of the Department of Geology and Geoenvironment, NKUA.

• Biomineralization, Biogeochemistry, and (Bio)Metallogenesis in Extant and Extinct Shallow-Sea Hydrothermal Vents, Hellenic Volcanic Arc. Microbially mediated precipitation of sulfide and oxide minerals, plus native metals, and biogeochemical cycling, of the “epithermal suite of elements” (i.e. Au, Ag, As, Sb, Hg, Tl) plus Fe and Mn, in Milos and Santorini-Kolumbo. Mineralized microbial fossils preserved in hydrothermal sulfide ores, and Fe(Mn)-formations. Microbial mats, biominerals and ore deposits
• Biogenesis and Environmental Significance of Mn- and Fe-oxides in Natural Geological Systems-Mineralized Microbially Induced Sedimentary Structures (MISS) and Stromatolites in non carbonate sediments and sedimentary rocks. I have been studying Iron(Fe) and manganese(Mn) mineralized microbial mats in siliciclastic depositional settings and relationship to Fe-Mn ore deposit formation, in Milos island. Interdisciplinary approaches have been used to deciphering Mn- and Fe-biomineralization processes in the geological record: (i) geological and geochemical plausibility(field mapping, ICP-MS), (ii) microbial fossil bioindicators(SEM-EDS, SEM-WDS, STXM, HR-TEM), (iii) organic biomarkers (molecular fossils) as indicators of microbial activity(GC-MS), (iv) stable isotopes (δ18Ο, δ34S)(MS) as recorders of microbial processes,(v) nanocrystalline biominerals as scavengers of heavy metals (HR-TEM, SEM-WDS)(e.g. As, Zn, Pb).
