About Me






I am a physicist and technical project manager with a unique combination of academic depth and industry expertise. With a doctorate from the Max Planck Institute of Extraterrestrial Physics, I have built a strong foundation in experimental physics, molecular spectroscopy, and radio astronomy, publishing my research in some of the most renowned astrophysics journals and collaborating internationally with leading research teams.
In 2021, I transitioned to industry as a project manager and product owner in the high-tech sector, where I lead complex customer projects and oversee the technical development, standardization, and optimization of cryogenic and optical microscope systems. My work bridges the gap between advanced engineering and strategic product management, ensuring technical excellence, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
Previously, I gained valuable experience as a patent engineer, where I successfully drafted patent applications in electron microscopy and other advanced technology fields. This role deepened my understanding of intellectual property documentation and sharpened my ability to communicate complex technical concepts with clarity and precision.
Beyond technical expertise, I bring strong skills in project planning, stakeholder communication, and multilingual coordination. Being half Greek and half German, and fluent in Greek, German, and English, I excel in working across cultures and managing projects with international partners.
Today, I combine my scientific background, hands-on product and project management skills, and clear communication style to support research organizations, innovative SMEs, and european consortia in achieving their goals — from strategic planning and technical documentation to workflow optimization and remote collaboration

Johanna was a pleasure to work with. She laid out a reasonable timeline and while working on the patent application she actively setup multiple review milestones so the all misunderstandings were quickly caught and addressed. She has advanced knowledge in Electron microscopy and EDS analysis.
