He is an expert in solar-terrestrial coupling processes and space weather; his work is mainly focused on the dynamics of energetic particles and of geospace magnetic storms. He is author or co-author of 100+ refereed scientific papers, with 4000 citations and h-index 34 in the Web of Science (6500 citations and h-index 42 in Google Scholar). He has edited and co-authored 5 textbooks, one of which ("Space Storms and Space Weather Hazards", Springer, 2001) was "recommended teaching material" for Space Sciences by the UN's Office for Outer Space. Prof. Daglis has been a Co-Investigator on three NASA missions (SAC-B, Polar, THEMIS) and two ESA missions (BepiColombo, Proba3); Scientific Representative for the SREM instrument on ESA's Rosetta mission; Full Member of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) since 2011; Editor-in-Chief of Annales Geophysicae since 2013; Scientific Discipline Representative to SCOSTEP since 2014; Chair of the Next Scientific Program (NSP) Committee of SCOSTEP (2017-2019); Chair of the South-Eastern Europe Europlanet Society Hub since 2019.
He leads the Horizon2020 project SafeSpace, which aims at advancing space weather nowcasting and forecasting capabilities through the development of a sophisticated model of the Van Allen electron belt and of a prototype space weather forecast service with a target lead time of 2 to 4 days. He also leads the ESA project G4G, which will deliver key capabilities needed in support of the development and operation of ESA science missions, based on the Geant4 simulation toolkit.
He received the NASA Group Achievement Award for his contribution to the Global Geospace Science program and the ESA Individual Achievement Award for his contribution to the Cluster mission.

Since 2019, I serve as an Associate Researcher at the Institute for Environmental Research & Sustainable Development of the National Observatory of Athens in Greece. My primary field of expertise is atmospheric modeling, with particular emphasis on numerical weather prediction and regional climate modeling. I have been working with atmospheric numerical models for more than 10 years, focusing particularly on the development of tools and services that support the protection of the environment, life and property. In recent years, I have been specializing in fire meteorology, fire spread prediction and fire-atmosphere interactions. Within this context, I led the development of a novel fire spread forecasting system that currently supports operationally the Hellenic Fire Corps. My publication record includes 33 publications in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, which have attracted 416 citations (h- index = 12).

I am currently a space physics researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center working with the LAMP, petitSat, Artemis, and Space Precipitation Impacts missions. I started researching waves in Earth's magnetosphere as an undergraduate at Augsburg College with Mark Engebretson using ground based magnetometers in the Arctic and Antarctic. I moved away from waves to focus on geomagnetic storms and substorms during my masters at the University of Colorado Boulder with Dan Baker but returned once more to waves with my PhD at University of Newcastle NSW Australia working under Brian Fraser. My PhD thesis was on Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves during the CRRES mission and their relationship to the plasmasphere and radiation belts. During my postdoc at Dartmouth college I worked on the BARREL mission I have moved down the field line (from a space perspective) and looked at the population of particles lost due to these interactions and their impact on the ionosphere and upper atmosphere.
Today I continue to bounce around the heliosphere and work to connect these regions, processes, and analysis techniques across boundaries.

I am a geologist.
As such, I view Earth as the natural baseline to test models in the search for ancient biospheres on other planets. A description of my research is far more interesting than a "Short biography". You can learn about such things on my website.
The research carried out in my group is field-, laboratory- and modeling-based, and seeks to understand such things as:
(i) How the surface state stabilized after planetary formation around 4480 million years ago, to the time of the establishment of a permanently-oxygenated atmosphere ca. 2420 million years ago;
(ii) That habitats for early life could have developed by 4400 million years ago, and the geophysical regimes that permitted the origin and proliferation of biological systems;
(iii) How the geomicrobiology of contemporary microbial communities provides some insight into the nature of the dominant biome(s) on the young Earth;
(iv) What information is preserved through physical/chemical changes endemic to high-grade metamorphic terranes;
(v) What these results from the ancient rock record might mean in terms of the establishment of habitability for Earth-like Exoplanets; and,
(vi) How can the isotopic and chemical composition of the planets be reconciled with their dynamical formation history?

The research carried out in my group is field-, laboratory- and modeling-based, and seeks to understand such things as:
(i) How the surface state stabilized after planetary formation around 4480 million years ago, to the time of the establishment of a permanently-oxygenated atmosphere ca. 2420 million years ago;
(ii) That habitats for early life could have developed by 4400 million years ago, and the geophysical regimes that permitted the origin and proliferation of biological systems;
(iii) How the geomicrobiology of contemporary microbial communities provides some insight into the nature of the dominant biome(s) on the young Earth;
(iv) What information is preserved through physical/chemical changes endemic to high-grade metamorphic terranes;
(v) What these results from the ancient rock record might mean in terms of the establishment of habitability for Earth-like Exoplanets; and,
(vi) How can the isotopic and chemical composition of the planets be reconciled with their dynamical formation history?
