Dr. Anastasia Christodoulou is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Blue Economy at the Department of Maritime Studies at the University of Piraeus. She has worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Strategy & Innovation of Copenhagen Business School as well as at the School of Business, Economics & Law of Gothenburg University in Sweden in the area of sustainable shipping and ports. She is a Visiting Professor and former Research Associate of World Maritime University specializing in maritime energy management issues. She has extensive experience in teaching sustainable maritime operations (including air pollution from shipping, oil spills, ballast water, development of sustainable multimodal transport chains) at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

She holds a PhD in maritime studies from the University of Piraeus, Greece; her dissertation focused on the assessment and evaluation of various instruments that could lead to the internalization of the external cost of greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. She was awarded with a Lighthouse Swedish Maritime Competence Center Fellowship for postdoctoral research (2017-2020) as well as a State Scholarship Foundation of Greece Fellowship for PhD dissertation research (2008-2011).

She has been involved as a key researcher in various European, regional and national research projects and has published several peer-reviewed academic articles in a number of well-established academic journals; namely Transportation Research Part D: Transport & Environment, Maritime Economics & Logistics, Maritime Policy & Management, Transport Policy, Marine Pollution Bulletin. She is member of the World Conference of Transport Research Society and the International Association of Maritime Economists.
