Outreachactivities

Since 2006 I am the owner of a website (http://www.meteovolos.gr) where I provide weatherforecasts formy hometown, Volos. Since 2012 I am a volunteer forecaster at the ESTOFEX team(http://www.estofex.org), where I have gained experience in forecasting convective weatherphenomena which helped me become responsible at the European Severe Weather Database(ESWD-http://www.eswd.eu)toevaluatesevereweathereventsinGreece.SinceMarch2016,Iamresponsible for upgrading the weather forecast maps of National Observatory of Athens(http://www.meteo.gr/meteomaps/) as well as providing observational plots and new datasets.Moreover, I am a member of the Hellenic Meteorological Society and the Hellenic Polar Society(ELEPOZ).

Myhobbiesincludeextremeweatherphotography,longdistancetrailrunningandalpinism.Iamavolunteer at theMountaineering Club and Greek Rescue Team of Ioannina, Greece and I own adiploma fromGreekAmateurRadioCommunity (ham). In thecontextofmyoutreachactivitiesoftheUniversityofIoannina,IhavegivenspeechestoGreekschoolsandScoutteamsonweatherandclimate issues. In June 2017, I am an invited speaker at the European Severe Storms LaboratoryTestbedinWiener-Neustadt,Austria.
