Anthony Melissourgos

A passionate learning technology advisor, web and android developer, specialized in social neuroscience, social pedagogy and educational technology.

I graduated from the University of Piraeus, School of Information and Communication Technologies, with a Bachelor's degree in Digital Systems and a great interest in Educational Technologies. My graduation thesis "The MMORPGs in the Educational Process" was paved the road to my Academic Publications and my postgraduation studies at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Education, in Social Neuroscience, Social Pedagogy and Education. To support my research in education, I also developed a couple of educational Android Apps and Mentored in the Google Code-in with Catrobat. At the same time, early in my career I worked as a web-developer at Diadrasis, which led me to become the IT consultant and web-developer for institures and associations on the psychology education and consultancy sector. Some of my clients were the Hellenic Association of Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and the Institute of Classical Psychoanalysis. At the moment, I am a Learning Techology Advisor at the University of Strathclyde for the Strathclyde Business School, participating in various CPD programs that led me to my PG Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education. On my free time I enjoy hiking, classical music, cinema and playing video-games.
