Welcome to my personal website

​My name is Achilleas Samaras. I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1982.

I am Associate Professor of Maritime Hydraulics, Coastal & Harbour Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering in Democritus University of Thrace [1].

I am also currently Coordinating Author for the Third World Ocean Assessment (WOA III) by the United Nations Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (UN DOALOS) [2].

I have a PhD in Civil Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where I also acquired my Diploma and MSc in Civil Engineering, both with "Honours" and as a Valedictorian.

​Prior to my current appointment, I was a Research Fellow at the University of Bologna in Italy [3] and have served as an Adjunct Lecturer at the Department of Marine Sciences in the University of the Aegean [4].

​My research interests focus on harbour, coastal and ocean engineering, including a particular interest in the dynamics of watershed-coast systems.
