Athanasios (Thanos) Nikolaou

I have developed extensive teaching experience and a unique style that emphasizes practical applications and cutting-edge technologies. As a highly organized and disciplined individual, I am passionate about biology and microbiology.

My teaching approach is centered around effective communication and conflict resolution, ensuring that students feel supported and engaged. I have had the privilege of working as a Visiting Lecturer at European University Cyprus, where I teach third-year medical students about nosocomial infections within the Microbiology module. Through theoretical and practical sessions, I provide comprehensive instruction on this critical topic.

Additionally, as an Assistant Supervisor and Teaching Assistant at the University of Surrey, I have mentored and guided numerous undergraduate students in their final-year projects. I assist them in experimental design and execution, fostering their scientific skills and knowledge.

My teaching style extends beyond the classroom. I believe in instilling curiosity and critical thinking in students, encouraging them to explore new methodologies and stay updated with the latest advancements in biology.

With my advanced expertise in techniques such as DNA extractions, cloning, PCR, and RNA sequencing, I bring real-world applications into the classroom.

By combining my teaching experience, and knowledge of cutting-edge technologies, I strive to inspire and empower students in their journey to understand biology and microbiology.
