He holds degrees including a B.Sc. in Physics (2011-2016), M.Sc. in Regional and Economic Analysis (2016-2018), M.Sc. in Computational Physics (2017-2019), and a Ph.D. in Political Economy (2019-2021) from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His research focuses on economic growth, business cycles, classical price theory, and econophysics, with interdisciplinary work spanning economics and theoretical physics. He co-authored the book Economic Growth and Long Cycles: A Classical Political Economy Approach (2024).

Recent articles explore topics like Marxian perspectives on capital accumulation, cosmological models in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and structural changes in productivity. His work bridges classical political economy with modern mathematical and computational methods.

He teaches courses such as Economic Crises, Graduate Microeconomics, and the History of Political Economy. His academic contributions emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, integrating physics-based models with economic theories to analyze growth dynamics and systemic instabilities.
