PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
1985-1986
: SYNERGAL Ltd: Responsible for the department of new products
development.During this employment I was occupied in an European
union financed project related with “ the development and optimization
of the “strained yogurt”.
1986-today
: Agricultural University of Athens, Department of Food Science and
Technology, Laboratory of Dairy Research, Group of Dairy Microbiology. During this
employment I am occupied in E.U. financed programs, related with isolation, identification,
study of physicochemical and technological characteristics and preservation of dairy cultures.
