Konstantinos Tsiamis is a Biologist, Msc, and a PhD-student in the Institute of Oceanography of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research since April 2008. His thesis work focuses on alien marine macroalgae off the Greek coasts, with special interest in their biology, ecology, taxonomy and impact to the indigenous flora.
His general field of research includes study of seaweeds (green, brown and red) and seagrasses: biology, ecology, taxonomy and systematics. He is a taxonomy expert of the Greek phytobenthos. Studies of pollution impacts to marine vegetation as well as coastal management are also included in his research topics.
K. Tsiamis earned his master’s degree in Oceanography from Athens University. He holds his bachelor degree in Faculty of Biology of Athens University.
Since 2007, he is member of the administrative committee of the Hellenic Phycological Society.
