Dimitris Michelioudakis studied classics and linguistics at the University of Athens and theoretical linguistics at the University of Cambridge (MPhil 2007, PhD 2012). He was teaching and research assistant at Cambridge (2010-2013), where he taught introductory and intermediate courses in theoretical linguistics, syntax, semantics and typology, and postdoctoral research associate at the University of York (2013-2018), where he taught intermediate and advanced courses in comparative and diachronic syntax, the syntax-semantics interface and syntactic typology. Since 2019, he is assistant professor of general linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
 
He specialises in the syntax of Greek and its dialects, syntactic change, comparative syntax and its interfaces with semantics (mainly argument and event structure), pragmatics and morphology (compounding and case). His research interests also include syntax-based phylogenetics and the use of syntactic parameters to probe genetic relatedness and the intensity of language contact. In 2015, he conducted fieldwork on two South American languages in Brazil, as part of his British Council-funded Researcher Links project. He has published a number of book chapters in edited volumes, conference proceedings, and articles in journals such as Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, The Linguistic Review, Rivista di Grammatica Generative, and Glossa. Since December 2019, he is part of the research team of the HFRI-funded project “Modeling Glossogeny” alongside Elena Anagnostopoulou (PI, University of Crete) and Manolis Ladoukakis (Department of Biology, University of Crete).
