Dr Ioannis (Giannis) Apostolou

BA, MSt, PhD
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow from 2025

My research combines multi-disciplinary approaches in landscape archaeology integrating computational, analytical and groundtruthing strategies for the long-term understanding of human activity and socio-environmental interactions. My expertise includes 3D photogrammetric reconstructions and multi-source modelling of past landscapes, GIS-based survey and advanced geospatial analyses, particularly for the detection and evaluation of archaeological sites, land-use systems and environmental change. I actively foster international collaborations and have held research assistant positions in various archaeological projects in Greece and Spain, In my current position, I pursue questions concerning the emergence of the Macedonian Kingdom, focusing on key areas in northern Greece around Thessaloniki.

PhD, MSc, BSc
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow - Elect

I want to understand the structure of equations that naturally appear in statistical physics describing the dynamics of particles, with the aim to shed light on the behaviour of solutions to these equations and to investigate the consistency of the physical model with its mathematical description.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow from 2025

I study the genomes of past organisms by directly analysing the DNA (“ancient DNA”) from their preserved remains, often from archaeological or geological contexts. Remains like subfossilised bones and teeth, or environmental substrates like buried sediments, can often be a genetic palimpsest: a mixture of ancient DNA from many different microbes, plants and animals. I use this data and approaches from population genetics and metagenomics to understand how ecosystems change through time, with a particular interest in past zoonotic diseases (transmitted from animals to humans), like plague.
