• • Aug 2021 - Jan 2022

  Project title: Image-based identification of Bombus spp. using techniques for building automated taxonomy. Accessed data and images regarding the genus Bombus from a variety of online sources, including institutional collections databases and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Learnt how to build image libraries and train a neural network for taxonomic identification using the NOUS software package.

  Project title: Next generation phylogeography of marbled newts.Employed a c. 6,884 nuclear marker data set to test for signals of interspecific admixture and unveil the intraspecific genetic structure of the two closely related newt species (Triturus marmoratus and Triturus pygmaeus).



404 General Military Hospital of Larissa

• Microbiology Laboratory Assistant

  • Feb 2019 - May 2019

  Throughout my military service I received education on basic nursing skills (i.e. blood sampling) and worked as a microbiology laboratory assistant in the hospital's lab during working days and hours. In that period, I learned how to set up, operate, and maintain laboratory instruments and equipment, monitor experiments, make observations, and calculate and record results. Additionally, I was taught how to analyze blood, urine and stool samples.

• Intern

  • Apr 2018 - Jun 2018

  During my time there I contributed to both laboratory and field work. I mostly worked on the DNA barcoding of different spider species and on the development of microsatellite multiplexes for the Javan Rusa deer. In addition, I took part in field work, helping to take DNA samples from different frog species. As an intern I learned and performed DNA extractions, DNA quantifications, multiplication of DNA fragments using the Polymerase Chain Reaction, sequencing of DNA and genotyping of microsatellites. Lastly, I was introduced to the techniques involved in setting up microsatellite multiplexes and the analysis of population genetic data. Show less
