Research
In 2023, I developed and published EconKit, a Python library offering advanced econometric analysis tools tailored for economics and finance professionals. This package, which I made available via PyPI, simplifies complex statistical operations and supports various correlation methods, enhancing research and data analysis capabilities.
In 2021, I published my first peer-reviewed paper in Greek, titled "Tourism and Local Development: Naxos Case Study" This work was featured in the Honorary Volume of Aegean University, under the title "Social Sciences and Geography: Theory, Methods & Techniques of Spatial Analysis" In this article, my team and I employed a systemic approach to present the case study of Naxos, focusing on the island's tourist development, productive capacity, and cultural resources.
Conferences
In the year 2022 I am honored to have been selected to participate in the Interdisciplinary School for Environmental Crisis (ISEC) of ARISTEiA and the Committee for Restoration for Northern Euboea. My application had been ranked in the top-30 undergraduate and graduate student applicants and granted with a scholarship. I and the other members of the "Group D" investigated the "Deforestation Consequences to Euboea". I finished ISEC Class of 2022 with honors.
In the year 2023, I am honored to have been selected to participate in the esteemed 21st Conference on Research on Economic Theory and Econometrics (CRETE 2023), which will take place in Naxos.
