Research interests:

1. Development and validation of analytical methods for the determination of inorganic and organic substances using chromatographic techniques.
2. Development and optimization of methodology for sample preparation of various samples, e.g., food and biological fluids.
3. Study of new chromatographic materials used in separation and sample preparation (polymeric sorbents, monoliths, carbon nanotubes, fused core particles, etc.) compared to conventional materials.

Dr. Samanidou has served as President of the Steering Committee of the Division of Central and Western Macedonia of the Greek Chemists’ Association since 2016.

A milestone in her career was in 2016, when she was included in the Analytical Scientist Power List of the top 50 most influential women in analytical science, as proposed by Texere Publishers (https://theanalyticalscientist.com/power-list/the-power-list-2016)
