Dr. Korres did the major part of his doctoral thesis at INGV – Italy under the supervision of Assistant Professor Nadia Pinardi. His thesis work focused on the modeling of the Mediterranean general circulation, its functioning in terms of energy analysis and its interannual variability. He defended his thesis at the University of Athens, in 1996.
Dr. Korres worked as a research scientist in the Physical Oceanography Group of the University of Athens (until 2003) and in the Institute of Oceanography of HCMR (until January 2008). He mainly worked on hydrodynamic modeling, wave modeling and data assimilation techniques. He developed several operational hydrodynamic/wave forecasting systems (ALERMO, TRITON, NIREAS, POSEIDON) on the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea scale.
Dr. Korres is a member of the scientific team of the “POSEIDON” operational system and scientific responsible of the hydrodynamic, wave forecasting and data assimilation components of the system. He coordinates the Greek Argo research infrastructure/program and the HF Radar installation at Limnos island. His research interests and experience include ocean and wave modelling, data assimilation techniques, wave-current and air-sea interaction processes. He has participated in 30 European and national funded research projects and has more than 45 publications in scientific journals and books.
Dr. Korres holds a master’s degree in Oceanography and a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the National and Kapodestrian University of Athens, Greece.
