Io Ioannidi

Io Ioannidi is a Visiting Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on numerical modeling in geophysics, environmental science, and atmospheric chemistry, with emphasis on Arctic aerosols, climate dynamics, and tectonic processes. She collaborates internationally on projects involving granular media deformation and plate interface metasediments.

Research interests include:

• Geophysical numerical simulations (Discrete Element Methods, 3D modeling)
• Arctic atmospheric phenomena (black carbon, aerosols, haze)
• Tectonic processes and metasedimentary rock behavior
• Climate change impacts and global dimming/brightening patterns

Recent studies explore wintertime Arctic air pollution patterns over Alaska, methane emission estimation via inverse models, and ancient slip events revealed through garnet fracturing analysis.

Scientific contributions include 15+ peer-reviewed articles since 2020. No academic awards explicitly mentioned in available texts.

No formal advisees listed. Collaborations include international teams working on granular media mechanics and Arctic atmospheric modeling.
