Since 2007 he has been teaching the corruption subject in the Sociology Department of Panteion University.

He is also the creator of “Human Corruption Metrics”-(HCM), an assessment model of public and private sector delegates towards corruption figures. Due to the 2017 launch of his last monograph “The corruption: from theory to geography”, he initialized the function of a network which includes a continual data resource both about the international bibliography (since 1940) concerning the corruption phenomenon, and the calculative dimension of this through the Corruption Footprint Index, implemented in all countries of the world. Studies that have been published in Greek and foreign magazines and have been presented in conferences.
