Angeliki's research focuses on understanding the factors that influence dietary behaviour and developing strategies to change dietary habits to prevent chronic disease.

Her specialist area of research is the identification of methods to promote the Mediterranean diet, by integrating theoretical models of behaviour change into interventions. Her research involves the development and evaluation of nutrition interventions to promote the Mediterranean diet to different population groups and the investigation of their effect on dietary changes and chronic disease risk factors and incidence. Implementation areas of particular interest include worksites and primary care settings.

Angeliki's research expands to involve the development of interventions to promote healthier eating in children, adults and older adults. She is also interested in examining the effect of different methods of intervention delivery, such as face-to-face motivational counselling and modern technologies (e.g. web-based interventions or smartphone applications) on dietary behaviour change.
