Biography

Konstantinos Koutsoupakis obtained a Chemistry degree from the Faculty of Science of the University of Crete in 1998. From 1998 to 2000 he completed his postgraduate specialization in Applied Molecular Spectroscopy and in 2003 he obtained a PhD degree in Environmental Biophysical Chemistry from the University of Crete. After his military service he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Crete and Japan as a JSPS Scholarship Scholar. Since August 2010 he has been working as a Special Educational Personnel (SPD) at the Department of Environmental Management of the Cyprus University of Technology.

Research Intrest

His research interests focus on the study of Environmental Biotechnology and Marine Chemistry systems using spectroscopic techniques.
