Background
Lampros graduated from the School of Chemical Engineering (University of Patras) with specialisation in Materials Technology and followed on with MSc in Biotechnology (Ulster University) before starting to work in a leading Greek agri-food company in quality and R&D roles. While at industry, he was awarded an MBA from the University of Ioannina and in 2012 he was recruited as doctoral researcher at EPSRC's Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Industrial Sustainability (CIMIS), based at Cambridge University. Lampros went back to manufacturing and business management roles in 2015 and developed additional research interests in innovation management, pre-competitiveness and knowledge exchange. Lampros joined Cranfield University in 2022 as Lecturer in Sustainable Manufacturing Operations.
