Dr. Mavrommatis's research program critically examines migration governance, citizenship frameworks, and geopolitical transformations through ethnographic and discourse-analytical lenses. His work interrogates tensions between ethnic and civic nationalism in Greek contexts, analyzes refugee integration challenges during crises, and explores spatial justice dimensions in urban environments. Key contributions address nativism among second-generation migrants, territorial cohesion policy narratives, and transnational identity formations in global cities.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2015-2022) reveals three dominant thematic clusters: (1) Greek/EU migration policy responses to refugee crises, (2) territorial cohesion and spatial justice in post-pandemic urbanization, and (3) ethnographic studies of migrant labor and integration. His methodological approach consistently blends theoretical frameworks from political geography with empirical fieldwork in Athens, Manolada, and transnational urban hubs, demonstrating increasing engagement with crisis-driven spatial transformations since 2015.
