Career
Aim In
my 25s I have realised that the things in life that can elate individuals
are those expressing their character and thoughts. Engineering Science has
offered me the greatest of emotions and satisfaction throughout my
academic years. As a Greek I am deeply obliged to continue the work of my
ancestors and become an engineer who will help society to progress and
prosper. My dream is to fully establish myself as a Chartered Engineer and
to be professionally involved with that magnificent discipline so that I
could offer the best for the future generations. |

Interests |
|
Sport |
In my free time I practice martial arts. The styles that I am interested in are Aikido and Iaido. I’ve been doing that since I came in Scotland i.e. for the last five years. |
Reading |
Reading
has become a second nature to me either by studying for University work or
for personal pleasure. Extracurricular reading comprises scientific,
psychological and science fiction articles and documents from books or
magazines. I have had, during my degree years, a subscription with
IMechE’s “Professional Engineer” magazine. The most recent book that
I have read is the Lord of the Rings. |
Computers |
I enjoy spending hours in front of my computer trying to explore the maximum potential for the software and hardware applications of these systems |
Languages |
Influenced by martial arts I try to teach myself some Japanese with the hope that some day I will get to visit that country. I also revise my French whenever possible. |
Music |
I enjoy listening to my favourite music all the day through and I use the internet to find songs and lyrics. I have a great range of musical preferences stretching from classical to heavy metal genres. |
Skills and Aptitudes |
|
Driving
Licence |
I have a Greek/European full, clean driving licence. |
Musical |
I
play guitar for which I had private lessons to start with although I enjoy
learning more individually by exercising on my favourite artist’s work. |
Computing |
I am an experienced user with many commercial packages such as Word, Excel, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and I also possess basic knowledge of a few engineering software applications such as ESP-r, MERIT and ANSYS AutoCAD |
