about Me
I was born and raised in Athens, and early in my studies I developed a strong interest in implant dentistry and tissue regeneration. After completing my dental degree, I continued my training at the Oral Surgery Department of New York University, gaining hands-on experience in implant surgery, sinus lifts, and guided bone regeneration.
During that time, i also became involved in research on bone-graft materials and was grateful to receive recognition at NYU’s Annual Research Day for a project on guided bone regeneration.

Research Interests & PhD Focus
My research interests center on enhancing implant therapy through both biologic and mechanical investigation. In the field of tissue regeneration and biomaterials, I focus on grafting materials and augmentation techniques aimed at improving hard and soft tissue quality prior to implant placement, often using detailed histologic and histomorphometric evaluation to assess healing patterns and material behavior. Within my PhD work, I explore the mechanical performance of implant-supported restorations, examining the long-term behavior of commonly used implant crowns and prosthetic designs through methods such as step-stress accelerated life testing (SSALT).
