Ioannis Baziotis studied at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (BSc, 1998–2002) and earned his PhD from the National Technical University of Athens (2003–2009). Specializing in Mineralogy and Petrology, his research focuses on shock metamorphism and impact-related processes in Martian meteorites and ordinary chondrites, the petrology and geochemistry of Martian meteorites, high- and ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks, mantle xenoliths, and micro- to nano-scale sorption processes in geomaterials. He has served as Lecturer (2014–2016) and since 2016 as Assistant Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens. His postdoctoral research includes appointments at the University of Perugia and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2013–2014), within an EU- and Greek Government-funded project (€150,000) in collaboration with the University of Vienna and the California Institute of Technology; at the University of Tennessee (2012–2013), where he studied the Martian meteorite Tissint and mantle xenoliths from Udachnaya and Obnazhennaya under L. A. Taylor; and at the National Technical University of Athens (2009–2010), working on high- and ultra-high-pressure rocks from the Rhodope Mountains (NE Greece). He is an active member of the Meteoritical Society, the European Geosciences Union, and the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain & Ireland; serves as a NASA reviewer for NPP; is a member of the Geotechnical Chamber of Greece; sits on the editorial boards of Open Journal of Geology and Geological Engineering; and acts as peer reviewer for Lithos. His distinctions include multiple State Scholarships Foundation awards (2002, 2004–2007), a PhD scholarship from NTUA (2003), the Ktenas Prize from the Academy of Athens (2008), and his appointment as Young Scientist Representative of the Geochemistry–Mineralogy–Petrology–Volcanology Division of the European Geosciences Union (2014).
