At the same time, he studied music theory and received a music diploma in Harmony, Counterpoint and Fugue. He then moved to Muenster, Germany, to perform his Ph.D. in cognitive neurosciences and Magnetoencephalography at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis under Prof. Dr. Christo Pantev. He completed his Ph.D. in 2013, receiving a Summa Cum Laude. In 2011, he received an award in the young neuroscientist poster competition "NeuroVisionen 8 "by the NeuroNRW - Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and a postdoctoral research fellowship from A.U.TH.

Similarly, in 2018, he secured a post-doc research grant from the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation focusing on the cortical network of multisensory perception and developed a computerized music-reading serious game. His research interests focus on cortical plasticity, music perception (disorders) and multisensory integration, while his essential research tools include Magnetoencephalography and Electroencephalography. He has more than 35 published papers in international refereed journals, such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex, Human Brain Mapping, Neuroimage etc. He has also published three book chapters and more than 40 contributions to international conferences with posters and talks.
