Anastasios Koidis

Anastasios (Tassos) Koidis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ioannina, specializing in Food Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry. Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor at Queen’s University Belfast (School of Biological Sciences) from 2010 to 2024. His research focuses on food integrity, sustainability, and advanced analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, machine learning, and multi-omics. He has extensive experience in food authentication, lipid chemistry, and sensor technology applications.

Education includes a BSc in Chemistry (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), MSc in Food Science (University of Reading), and a PhD from Aristotle University. He held a postdoctoral position at TEAGASC, Ireland.

Research interests span food authentication via spectroscopy, lipid analysis (e.g., olive and palm oils), multivariate data analysis, functional food bioactives, and novel processing technologies. He has over 100 peer-reviewed publications and serves on editorial boards, including Food Chemistry Advances. He contributed to EU projects like STARTEC and has leadership roles in ISO technical committees.

Professional engagements include reviewing for UKRI and Hellenic grants, academic advising for Commonwealth scholarships, and keynote speaking at international conferences on food fraud detection and lipid analysis.

Key achievements include developing analytical methods for food adulteration, leading ISO standards for fats and oils, and advising on food safety policies. His work bridges technology and policy to enhance food quality and safety globally.
