His academic background includes a DPhil in Structural Biology from the University of Oxford (2012) and a BSc in Physics from the University of Cyprus (2008). Prior to his current position, he conducted postdoctoral research in the Sansom group at Oxford, specializing in computational methodologies for membrane protein analysis. Research centers on membrane proteins—critical components in cellular signaling, transport, and mechanosensation—using coarse-grained and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Key themes include Piezo1 channel mechanotransduction, T-cell receptor signaling, membrane transporter function (particularly Band 3 anion exchanger), and peripheral membrane protein-lipid interactions. His group develops advanced computational approaches to simulate protein behavior in asymmetric lipid bilayers that mimic native cellular environments. Analysis of recent publications (2021-2025) reveals consistent focus on mechanosensitive channels (especially Piezo1), immune receptor dynamics, and lipid-regulated protein function. His work demonstrates how specific lipid interactions govern channel activation, transporter mechanisms, and signaling complex assembly, with direct implications for cardiovascular disease and immune disorders.
