Curriculum Vitae |
Kostas Philippides was born in Athens, Greece in 1965. He is a Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the University of Western Macedonia. He received his degree in physics from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens and started his postgraduate studies as a Fellow of the Demokritos National Center for Scientific Research at the Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics. He continued his postgraduate studies in New York University where he received his Master of Sciences and Philosophy Doctorate in Theoretical Physics of Elementary Particles. His research has been published in international scientific journals like Physics Review D, Nuclear Physics, Physics Letters B, etc. and has been presented in international conferences and invited seminars at institutions like CERN, UCLA, UCSD, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Carnegie Mellon, Brookhaven National Laboratoty. etc. He has worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Durham, under an EU Marie Curie Fellowship and at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He has been an adjunct professor for the Democritus University of Thrace, the American College of Thessaloniki and the Technological Educational Institutions of Kavala, Serres and Kozani where he taught physics courses and labs as well as quality management and statistical process control courses. He has also worked as a science teacher of secondary education at the 2nd Experimental Lyceum of Thessaloniki, the Vocational Lyceum of Rodopolis Serres and the Gymnasium of Livadia Serres. He has also been employed as a Management Consultant by management consultancy firms, Atlantis S.A and Q-PLAN International, on projects of Laboratory Accreditation Systems and Quality Management Systems. Besides elementary particle physics his latest research interests focus on the methodology of teaching physical sciences and on the assessment and evaluation of the educational process. He is a dedicated teacher trying to pass to his students the message that the world is comprehensible and can be explained on the basis of simple principles. |
