Nikolaos Thomaidis

Dr. Nikolaos Thomaidis is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), a Visiting Professor at the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), and an Adjunct Professor at Yale School of Public Health. His expertise spans analytical, food, and environmental chemistry, with a focus on trace analysis and mass spectrometry (TrAMS).

• Director of the NKUA post-graduate program 'Analytical Chemistry - Quality Assurance'
• Reference laboratory role for Black Sea pollutant monitoring (UNDP-funded since 2016)
• Core member of the NORMAN network for emerging pollutants

His research includes developing High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) methodologies to characterize environmental and food samples, alongside pioneering multiplex PCR wastewater analysis for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance. Collaborations with Yale and ECUST highlight his transatlantic academic contributions.

Projects emphasize environmental justice, health equity, and molecular 'fingerprints' of pollutants. He supervises European/Greek-funded initiatives on priority pollutants and transformation products in global environments.
