Dr. Mailis's educational background includes: Birth in Athens (1975) Graduation from University of Crete's Department of History and Archaeology (1998) Postgraduate studies at University of Crete Doctoral thesis at University of Göttingen (2005-2010) His research explores Byzantine architecture, medieval urban planning, iconography, and intercultural relations between Byzantium and Western Europe, with special emphasis on Crete during the Venetian period.

Seeger Fellowship at Princeton University Wolfgang Fritz Volbach Fellowship at WissenschaftsCampus Mainz Dr. Mailis maintains a dual professional trajectory, having served in the Greek Archaeological Service from 2006 to 2022 while simultaneously pursuing academic work.
