Eleni works on water sampling and chemical analysis of the seawater and the hydrothermal fluids.

Eleni has a permanent position as a Research Associate at the Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry of the University of Athens. Eleni is designing and conducting research on metal speciation on environmental samples and specifically about mercury and its compounds in groundwater (salt water intrusion), seawater, soil, sediment, biota. In order to achieve the above, a great deal of effort was given in developing and testing of analytical techniques. The data give a good view into fluxes and compounds transformation mechanisms. Since 2010 she is participating in Mediterranean Geotraces.
