PROFESSOR | Farm Animal Health
George was born in Filiatra, Messinia, on a sheep and goat farm, where wind, sun, and sea wove instinct and endurance into rhythm and currents from Mycenaean roots and quiet dominion carried without claim. He holds two PhDs, one in Veterinary Medicine from Thessaloniki and one in Molecular Biology from the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, along with the Certificate in Sheep Health and Production from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and diplomate status from the European Colleges of Cattle and Small Ruminant Health Management; his trajectory includes Fulbright research at Cornell University, postdoctoral work in New Zealand and Italy, and academic appointments in Greece, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia. George’s work in epistēmē is driven by an underlying dynamis that orders inquiry and draws others into its field, remaining rigorous and embodied while refusing enclosure or domestication.
