Aris-Dimitrios Leontaritis

Aris Leontaritis is a Phd candidate in the glacial geomorphology of the mountains of Greece. He was born in Athens, where he studied and worked as a mechanical engineer for a few years before his love for the mountains and their nature inspired him to change direction. Already connected with the region of Epirus as a visitor, he moved to Metsovo to participate in a postgraduate program on the development prospects of mountainous regions, with respect to the preservation of local identity, culture and environment.
