In 1982 he was elected Lecturer in Heat Transfer in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he founded the Thermophysical Properties Laboratory. In 1986 he was elected Assistant Professor, in 1991 Associate Professor, and in 2001 Professor of Thermophysical Properties at the same Faculty. During the years 1991-1995, 1997-1999, 2009-2011 he served as the Vice-Chairman of the Faculty, and during 1995-1997 as the Chairman of the Faculty.

He has published more than 150 papers in international journals, 130 papers in conference proceedings, 26 chapters in books and 9 books. In 1996, his book Thermophysical Properties of Fluids: An Introduction to their Prediction (coauthored by J.P.M. Martin & Th.F. Tsolakis) was published by Imperial College Press (a greek edition is published by A. Tziola E.), while in 2010, his book, Fires, Explosions and Toxic Gas Dispersions: Effects Calculation and Risk Analysis (coauthored by K. Kakosimos), was published by CRC Press. In 2011, his lattest book Commonly Asked Questions in Thermodynamics (coauthored by S. Will, A. Goodwin, M. Stamatoudis and W.A. Wakeham) was published by CRC.

He is acting as a referree for most journals in the area of thermophysical properties, while he is also a member of the Editorial Board of the scientific journals
