About Fotios
As an Associate Professor in Strategic and Security Studies, I have more than twenty years of experience designing courses and teaching military officers, civil servants and university students on subjects pertaining to international and maritime security, strategy and transnational security threats with emphasis on terrorism.
I was a Visiting Professor in Terrorism at the NATO School in Oberammergau for five years and Senior Associate Member at St Antony’s College, Oxford University. In 2009, I set up the first ever blended learning International MA programme in Applied Strategy and International Security to command-level staff at the Hellenic National Defence College (HNDC) -equivalent to the Royal College of Defence Studies- in Athens. I have supervised more than four hundred MA dissertations and a number of Doctoral students on strategic and security issues. I have published three monographs as well as a number of academic papers in a number of refereed and policy practitioner journals such as Defence Studies, Defence and Security Analysis, European Security, Mediterranean Quarterly, Central Asian Survey, Contemporary Security Policy, Mediterranean Politics, NATO Open Publications, Naval Review, Jane’s Intelligence Review, Conflict Security Research Series-Sandhurst, and Contemporary Review. Iam currently editing a book titled 'Reshaping the Battlefield: The Co-evolution of Technology and Warfare, which will be published by Routledge.
As a Director of the Centre for Sea Power and Strategy (CSS), I have established strong links with professional and educational networks in the field of maritime security and strategy, which has spawned a number of collaborations and partnerships with NATO Maritime Command (MARCOM), Airbus Defence and Space UK, BAE systems, University of Bundeswehr Munich, German Ministry of Defence, NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre (NMIOTC), United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network initiative, Hellenic National Defence College and Hellenic Ministry of Defence.
To this end, in the last five years, I have personally organised in collaboration with MARCOM, Royal Navy, Royal Marines, the Defence Industry and the Hellenic National Defence College, a number of national-level conferences such as on ‘Deterrence and Defence: Allied Operational Dilemmas and Integrated Responses’ ‘Hybrid Warfare’. ‘Resurgent Russia’, ‘Application of Sea Power for NATO in the 21st century’ and ‘Mediterranean Security Threats’, (for more details see http://blogs.plymouth.ac.uk/dcss/category/events/
