Summary

Dr. Gkaras Stylianos is instructor at the School of Engineering of the University of Western
Macedonia (UOWM). He is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering
of UOWM (Advanced Photolytic Methods of Degradation of Aromatic Organic Pollutants in
the Atmosphere). He holds a degree in Chemistry (1991) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry –
Photochemistry (2004), (Department of Chemistry of the University of Ioannina, Greece).
Thesis “Photodissociation of N-substituted Silylaniline Derivatives (Synthesis and ESR
spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis, pulse radiolysis and product analysis study)”
His research interests include: i. Field measurements, destructive and non-destructive
methods of particulate matter analysis, evaluation, measurement station networks, air
pollution control techniques, air quality management. ii. Distribution of pollution sources
/ fugitive dust emission sources (using advanced techniques for the analysis of
environmental samples and computational models), iii. Organic synthesis, iv.
Photochemistry, v. Spectroscopy of organic compounds.
His scientific work has been published in 16 articles in international scientific journals and
presented in more than 50 articles in proceeding international and national conferences
(>110 citations, h-index = 7, Scopus).
