Dimitrios Tsevdos, Secretary: 



Dimitrios is a 3rd Year student in the Dpt. of NAOME, studying Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering.

He has also won the Strath 70 group project, for building the fastest yacht out of all the 2nd Year students. His love for the sea and the maritime world derives from a very young age since he traveled a lot with passenger ships to the island of Chios in Greece, but what really pushed him into becoming a Naval Architect was his father, a very well-known and respected man in the maritime industry. Dimitrios dream is to follow his father’s footsteps, achieving as much as he did and more.
