Currently I work as an Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I am an interdisciplinary scholar and person. I received my Bachelors and Masters Degree from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Athens, Greece a long time ago. Finding it hard to stay in a hardcore discipline and feeling more of a social scientist than a natural scientist, I received my PhD from the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Before joining UPenn I spent two years as a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Center for Nanotechnology in Society, Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes, at Arizona State University. My first book, based on my doctoral dissertation, //Nanotechnology Standards:// //the Story of an [In]Formal Scientific Language//, explored the interplay between politics, power, and the development of nanotechnology standards (MIT Press, 2017), and won the Ludwik Fleck Prize in 2018. Since 2016 I have served as a special advisor for the European Commission // Directorate General // Health and Consumer Protection, as well as a consultant for the non-governmental organization Friends of the Earth. I am currently interested in exploring the connections between neoliberalism, public spheres, expert knowledge, and social movements in environmental and scientific standards development.
