Education
Description of his work
Following the completion of his doctoral studies, Dr. Kyparos completed his post doctoral training with the Institute for Space Systems Operations (ISSO), under a joint program between University of Houston and NASA/Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, USA (2001-2004). Upon his return to Greece he was appointed as an Adjunct Lecturer of Animal Physiology at the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, University of Thessaly, Greece (2005-2009). Since 2009, Dr. Kyparos is a faculty at the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science at Serres, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Exercise Physiology.
Dr. Kyparos has long term research experience in using both human subjects and animal models. He has published 42 papers in the area of physiology and exercise physiology/biochemistry in peer-reviewed international journals, and he has presented his work in over 85 international congresses. His work has been internationally recognized (h index = 9) and cited by 246 other authors. Dr. Kyparos serves as a reviewer in a number of journals in the field of Exercise Physiology and Exercise Science. As an invited speaker he has given a number of presentations related to his area of expertise in congresses and symposia. He has served as a member of the supervising committee in a number of Bachelor’s, Master theses and Doctoral dissertations. He has also served as a member of the organizing or scientific committees in a number of international meetings and congresses related to the scientific area of his interest. He has been serving as an expert in topical teams and scientific committees organized by European Space Agency related to space muscle physiology, metabolic biomarkers and artificial gravity.
