Dimitrios Tsiotas serves as Assistant Professor of Regional Economics and Regional Development at the Department of Regional and Economic Development, Agricultural University of Athens (Amfissa, Greece). He has established himself as a prominent researcher in regional science with over 180 publications and significant editorial roles in major journals including serving as Co-Editor of Spatial Economic Analysis (Taylor and Francis) and on the editorial boards of Regional Science Inquiry, Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management, and Management Research and Practice.
His educational background reflects an interdisciplinary approach with two undergraduate degrees in Aeronautical Engineering (Ikarus School-SMA, 2001) and Mathematics (NKUA, 2008), followed by postgraduate studies in Spatial Planning, Urban Planning and Regional Development Engineering (University of Thessaly, 2009) and Mathematics (AUTH, 2010). He completed his PhD in 2016 from the University of Thessaly.
Dr. Tsiotas' research bridges economics, geography, and network science with particular focus on Regional Science and Economics, Transport and Spatial Economics, Urban Economics and Planning, and Complex Network Analysis. His work demonstrates how network methodologies can be applied to understand regional economic structures, transportation systems, and spatial development patterns. His research has evolved to incorporate advanced network analysis techniques to study economic resilience, interregional flows, and the topology of transportation networks.
His extensive publication record reveals a consistent pattern of applying network science methodologies to regional economic questions, with increasing focus on multilayer network approaches, economic resilience measurement, and the spatial dimensions of economic development. Recent work shows growing interest in the European Union's regional development patterns, labor market networks, and the application of 3D resilience frameworks to financial crises.
Dr. Tsiotas maintains active editorial responsibilities across multiple regional science journals, reflecting his standing in the academic community. His editorial work includes serving as Co-Editor of Spatial Economic Analysis, membership on the Editorial Board of Regional Science Inquiry, Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management, and Management Research and Practice, and advisory roles for other journals.
He teaches courses including Urban Economics I & II, Econometrics II, Natural Resource Economics, and Regional Economics I & II, demonstrating his expertise across core areas of regional economic analysis. His office hours are scheduled Wednesday 16:00-17:00, Thursday 14:00-15:00, and Friday 16:00-16:30.
