Professor Nikolaos Kalogeropoulos serves as Professor of Food and Environmental Chemistry at Harokopio University of Athens, where he leads the Laboratory of Food Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physical Chemistry. His academic career spans over 25 years since earning his PhD in 1994, with deep expertise in food composition analysis and nutritional chemistry.
- Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, Department of Chemistry (School of Sciences), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 1981
- Master's Degree in Oceanography, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 1986
- PhD in Chemistry, Department of Chemistry (School of Sciences), University of Ioannina, 1994
His research program investigates fundamental transformations in food components during processing, with particular emphasis on antioxidant systems, fatty acid profiles, and environmental contaminants in Mediterranean foods. Current projects explore microencapsulation technologies for bioactive compounds and archaeological applications of food chemistry. This work bridges analytical chemistry, nutrition science, and food engineering to address real-world challenges in food quality and safety.
Professor Kalogeropoulos maintains an active publication record with significant contributions between 2007-2010, demonstrating consistent research output in high-impact food science journals. His work shows strong thematic continuity from his doctoral research through recent publications.
As principal investigator of the Food Chemistry Laboratory, he oversees analytical facilities for comprehensive food characterization. His research program supports student training in advanced food analysis techniques while contributing to understanding Mediterranean dietary patterns. Current projects focus on optimizing extraction methods for bioactive compounds and evaluating traditional Greek food products.
