I am honored to be selected as a recipient of the HBA-USA Scholarship. I graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and currently serve as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. My research focuses on trauma, emergency general surgery, and surgical outcomes, with work published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international surgical meetings. I am also involved in translational large-animal trauma research, contributing to the development and evaluation of novel approaches to hemorrhage and injury.
My long-term goal is to become an academic trauma and acute care surgeon, combining clinical practice, research, and surgical education. This scholarship will support my ontinued scientific and professional development as I pursue that path.
