Previously, he was a lecturer at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and taught at the State Theatre of Northern Greece. He completed his PhD in 1999 on discourses of modernity in pre-national Greece and holds degrees in Classical/Modern Greek Philology and Linguistics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1983-1988) and a postgraduate degree in Literary Theory from the University of Konstanz (1988-1994).

His research examines German-Greek cultural transfers, Modern Greek Enlightenment, and the sociology of literature, with emphasis on book history, political engagement in novels, and antiquity's reception in modern Greece. His work bridges philological analysis with transnational intellectual history.

Publications (2004-2021) predominantly explore literary modernity, Ottoman-Greek intellectual networks, and 20th-century diaspora literature, using methodologies from reception theory and discourse analysis. Key themes include censorship, transcultural identity, and the intersection of power/knowledge in Greek contexts.
