Dr. Dimitris Kaskaoutis holds a bachelor’s degree in physics and a PhD in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Ioannina, Greece in 2009. In 2011 he was visitor Professor at Sharda University, India and from 2013 to 2016 he served as Assistant Professor at Shiv Nadar University, India. At the present, he is Assistant Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Western Macedonia, Greece and collaborative scientist at National Observatory of Athens and the Cyprus Institute. He has been working in Atmospheric Physics, meteorology, climatology, dust dynamics, carbonaceous aerosols and biomass burning for 20 years, mostly emphasizing on aerosol optical, physical and chemical properties over climatic sensitive areas. He has published 215 papers in scientific journals with more than 13500 citations, he has more than 120 presentations in National and International conferences, 9 Book Chapters and he has served as reviewer in 153 scientific journals. He has participated in several research projects in Greece and abroad related to atmospheric aerosol properties and climate implications.
