Rigas-Filippos Soldatos

Rigas-Filippos Soldatos serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where he currently holds an Academic Fellow position in Neuropsychiatry at Aeginitio Hospital's First Neurological Clinic since May 2021. His academic career includes prior roles as an Academic Fellow in Psychiatry at the university's First Psychiatric Clinic (2014-2020) and a Research Fellow in Neuropsychiatry at the University of Melbourne's Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre (2019-2020) under a Greek-Australian Research Fellowship.

His educational credentials feature a Doctoral degree (2014) from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens' 1st Department of Pathological Anatomy with thesis 'Molecular study of meningiomas', a Medical degree (2005) from the same institution's Medical School, and a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science (1999) from King's College London.

Soldatos specializes in advanced psychiatric research focusing on first-episode psychosis, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and exposome-environment interactions. His work integrates machine learning methodologies to develop predictive models for symptom remission while examining socioeconomic and familial influences on disease progression. He actively contributes to the Athens first-episode psychosis research study, advancing early intervention frameworks through longitudinal clinical investigations.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a concentrated research trajectory on computational psychiatry applications, with recent work emphasizing exposome scoring systems in schizophrenia and pandemic-related caregiver impacts in neurocognitive disorders. His methodological approach bridges clinical psychiatry with data science to address critical gaps in psychosis management and functional outcomes.

As a core collaborator in the Athens first-episode psychosis research initiative, Soldatos operates within multidisciplinary teams at Aeginitio Hospital while maintaining international research connections established during his fellowship at the Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre.
