About

Katerina Achilleos is a researcher whose work spans marine ecology and clinical health outcomes. Her studies reflect an interdisciplinary profile, combining environmental biology with applied medical research. She has contributed to international, peer‑reviewed journals, engaging with both global biodiversity questions and healthcare challenges in resource‑limited settings.

In marine science, her research examines skeletal mineralogy in calcifying organisms, particularly cheilostome bryozoans. By integrating environmental variables with phylogenetic history, she has highlighted the central role of seawater temperature in shaping biomineralization patterns, advancing understanding of how evolutionary legacy and climate interact to influence marine calcifiers.

Her clinical research explores burn care outcomes across different healthcare levels, addressing disparities between specialised and non-specialised centres. This work underscores strengths in comparative study design and translational relevance. The current assessment is based on a limited body of available publications.
