Short CV

I have been a Senior Assistant Professor in Data Analytics, at the Institute for Applied Data Analytics at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, in Brunei, Borneo – one of the highest ranked young Universities on Earth – and before that Lecturer in Predictive Modelling at the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, UK. I have contributed in publishing over 45 journal papers among others in journals such as Nature Communications. My research featured in the BBC, BBC4, The Guardian, BBC Countryfile, The Ecologist, Motherboard as well as Greek, German and French media. In addition, my research had substantial impact resulting among others in an invitation to brief the British Parliament on data analytics regarding Bovine Tuberculosis, followed by Freedom of Information Act submitted by MPs and members of the House of Lords.

Published research on renewable wind energy spatial planning was also discussed in the Greek Parliament and ultimately resulted in changing the Greek legislation regarding renewable energy planning and cancelling renewable energy resources licenses in several non-fragmented mountainous areas.

I am serving as a contracted expert and final decision panellist of the Horizon 2020 research grants by the European Commission in 2020, 2021, and 2022.  In addition, in 2022 I am serving as a contracted expert and panellist of research funding in agriculture and environment of the Romanian government.
