Dr. Georgios Eleftheriou is a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Oceanography of HCMR, working on multi-disciplinary numerical modelingwithin the marine ecosystem modeling group andenvironmental radioactivity as member of the Marine Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory.Hiscurrent research focusesonhydrodynamic, biogeochemicaland particles dispersion (plastics and radionuclides)modeling, data assimilation techniques andocean systems simulation experiments.

His scientific interests extended to radioactivity measurements in the marine environment (in-situ and laboratory gamma-ray spectrometry, radiation mapping and monitoring, nuclear physics instrumentation, Monte Carlo simulations) and theirapplications in oceanography and geosciences (sediments dating, water masses identification, submarine groundwater discharges studies, sediment dynamics evaluation, pre-seismic radon signals, radioecology). 

With15 years of research experience, he hascontributed toseveral EU and national programs (e.g., LANSEALOT, NAUTILOS, ΕΒΔΜ34, HELPOS, RADIOSCOPIO, BLACKSEAHAZNET, EMRES),participated in over 40 seminars, workshops and training, and taken part in multiple field surveys. He has 30 publications in peer-reviewed journals, 5 book chaptersand more than 80 contributions to national and international conferences.He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Radioactivity (2014), an a M.Sc. in Physics and Technological Applications (2011) and a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences (2005) from the National Technical University of Athens, as well as a post graduate specialization diploma in Environmental Management (2007) form Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania. He is a member of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society.
