Ioannis joined The City Law School in August 2011. Previously Ioannis was a Teaching Fellow at the University of Exeter (Cornwall Campus) as well as a PhD candidate (and teaching assistant) at the University of Nottingham. He is a qualified advocate at the Athens Bar Association, in Greece.

In December 2010 Ioannis successfully defended his PhD thesis at the University of Nottingham. The thesis, accepted with no corrections, is entitled: The Applicability of International Law to Armed Conflicts Involving Non-State Armed Groups: Between Status and Humanitarian Protection. It looks at the development of the rationales for the applicability of the law of armed conflict (or international humanitarian law) to situations of violence that involve non-state armed groups. It enquires whether the system has moved from a rationale of applicability based on the respective status of group entities to one based on the protection of individuals. It concludes that this is indeed the case, with important caveats.

Ioannis research focuses on the areas of the Law of Armed Conflict and International Criminal Law but also includes various aspects of General Public International Law.
