 Παναγιώτη Γιάννηκης, but everyone around here knows me and calls me PANOS. I am a faculty member in the geography department at the Pennsylvania State University. And I did several online courses including database development, GIS programming and open web mapping. The road that led me to state college and the Penn State has been a rather long one. I grew up in Greece, I came in 2013 in the United States in order to study and get my PhD from the University of Arkansas. I spent more or less all my life inside academic institutions studying, working and teaching. So when I got the opportunity to come here in Penn State I was more than excited. As a geographer I truly love travelling and exploring new places and so far I have managed to visit more than 20 countries. While in the United States the goal that me and my wife have set is to visit all 50 states and we are already more than halfway done. I honestly think that this is a wonderful program and I really hope that I will see you in one of my classes in the future.
