His academic career spans across multiple institutions in the UK, Greece, and internationally, with visiting professorships in Germany, Holland, France, Oman, Kuwait, and Switzerland.

Professor Alexiou's research interests focus on Applied Macroeconomics, Macroeconomic Policy, International Finance, Patent Systems, and Heterodox Economics. His work explores the intersection of economic theory with real-world business challenges, particularly examining how intellectual property systems impact economic development and sustainability. He has made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between patent strength, innovation, and environmental outcomes, as well as the dynamics of income inequality in times of fiscal austerity.
Professor Alexiou has authored over 100 publications in prestigious academic journals including the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, Contributions to Political Economy, Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, International Journal of Finance and Economics, Journal of World Business, and International Business Review.

Professor Alexiou is the founding editor of the International Journal of Economics and a member of the European economic forum for alternative economic policy in the EU. His 2014 co-development of an internationally acclaimed Index on Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement, which assesses risks associated with protecting intellectual property across 49 countries, represents a significant contribution to the field.
Throughout his career, Professor Alexiou has delivered Economics and Business related courses across the full range of Cranfield School of Management's postgraduate and post-experience executive management programmes. His previous experience includes research associate work at the Confederation of Greek Labour, where he delivered training programmes for trade union members, and consultancy for Doctorate in Professional Studies programmes in the UK.
