Achilleas graduated from the National Technical University of Athens with a Civil Engineering degree specialising in Water Resources Engineering. He continued his studies at TU Delft where he completed an MSc in Offshore Engineering.

Achilleas is currently enrolled as a PhD student in the Energy, Environment and Atmospheric Sciences program. His PhD research project focuses on the 3D modelling and analysis of terraced landscapes. The research includes analysis of land degradation in traditional and mechanically-constructed terraces for agriculture in mountain areas. The objective of the research is the development of modelling techniques for evaluating terrace stability, and the development of good practices for the design and construction of new bench terraces.
