Ioannis Pashalidis

Ioannis Pashalidis is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cyprus, with a career spanning over three decades. His research focuses on radiochemistry, environmental remediation, and adsorption technologies for removing toxic metal ions and radionuclides from aquatic systems.

He holds a Diploma in Chemistry (1987) and a PhD in Aquatic Radiochemistry (1991), both from the Technical University of Munich, followed by postdoctoral positions at the University of Cyprus. His academic trajectory includes roles such as Lecturer (1999-2003), Assistant Professor (2003-2008), Associate Professor (2008-2016), and full Professor since 2016.

His research explores actinide interactions with colloidal systems, biochar, and microplastics, aiming to develop decontamination technologies. Recent studies highlight the role of microplastics as carriers for radionuclides and the application of oxidized biochar in adsorption processes.
