Dr. Panagiotis Kirmizakis

Post-Doc Researcher, Department of Geosciences

Dr. Panagiotis Kirmizakis is currently working as postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Geosciences. Before joining KFUPM, he worked as Early Stage Researcher in the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 643087 REMEDIATE. Dr. Kirmizakis obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering (Hellenic Mediterranean Univerisity) focusing in Environmental Monitoring and Environmental Geophysics and his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Queen’s University Belfast – QUB, UK) on the application of geophysics to characterize biological processes in contaminated / degraded environments. He is mainly interested in processing and interpretation of hydrogeophysical, biogeophysical and applied geophysics data.
