Personal profile
Biography
Completed a PhD in Statistics at the department of Statistics, Athens University of Economics and Business, in 2007 under the supervision of Professor Dimitris Karlis. His PhD dissertation was ranked as excellent by world leading experts including the professors Harry Joe (British Columbia), and Roger B. Nelsen (Lewis & Clark College). After completing his PhD had two postdoctoral positions at Canada. Worked with Professor Christian Genest until the end of 2007 at the Laval University and then moved to the University of British Columbia to work with Professor Harry Joe until July 2008. After completing the post-docs had a lecturer position at Athens University of Economics and Business, lasting from November 2008 until August 2009. Has been appointed as a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in Statistics at the University of East Anglia in 2009 and in 2013 was promoted to Associate Professor.

Key Research Interests
The main theme of his research is copula modelling. Specific situations where he has made use of copulas include: (i) models and inference procedures for repeated measures or multivariate discrete (binary, ordinal, count) response in biostatistical, environmental and econometrical applications; (ii) factor copula models for survey data; (iii) copula-GARCH models for financial returns; (iv) copula-mixed models for meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies.
