Interests

• Restoration of vitreous surfaces of ceramic tiles called azulejos, using laser.

I am a technician supporting the Dynamics group of IESL-FORTH. I have expertise in information technology (IT), operation/maintenance of spectroscopic instruments and spectra analysis with statistical methods. I have created and maintain the internal network of the group and I'm assisting in any area needed, from experiments to repairs.
