He is currently working as an associate professor at Ehime University in Japan. His research work includes numerous publications in journals and international conferences as well as a number of patents. His science communication activities began after his participation in the international science competition Famelab. He became the first Greek winner and was awarded first prize by both judging committee and audience. Since then he has been writing and presenting to the general public a wide range of topics in numerous ways that include television programs, science theater, short documentaries, talks, articles in magazines and books. The present book, originally written in Greek, was the outcome of bibliographic research conducted a few years ago due to a presentation of the same topic for a science communication event. The author notes that his frequent vivid dreams have also been a major motivation for researching and writing about this topic.
