Summary

For Episode 8, we are travelling to my parents' homeland...Greece! We had a lovely discussion with Thanassis Godelitsas about teaching in Greece, the positive aspects and the challenges, and how much he supports his students! Athanasios Godelitsas received his PhD in Chemistry from Aristotle University (Greece) and then he did a postdoc in mineral surface science and nanogeoscience in the group of Prof. A. Putnis at University of Muenster (Germany). He is Professor of Mineralogy-Mineral Chemistry at National & Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA, Greece), Visiting Professor of Environmental Mineralogy and Geochemistry at Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) and Erasmus+ Visiting Professor at University of Oulu (Finland). He is actively involved in a wide range of research areas in modern mineralogy, mineral-chemistry and geochemistry. For this purpose he mainly uses electron and atomic force microscopies, surface analytical techniques and accelerator/Synchrotron-based spectroscopies.
