He serves on the administrative committee of the graduate program “Physics and Technological Applications,” jointly organized by the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens and NCSR Demokritos. He teaches the mandatory one-semester course “Electromagnetism-I”  ( https://metaptychiako-fysikis.physics.ntua.gr/mathimata/ ) and delivers an experimental lesson in the graduate course “Experimental Methods” (optional).

Additionally, M. Pissas organizes and teaches several chapters in the following courses: a) Quantum Devices (mandatory), b) Qubit Devices (mandatory), c) Quantum Solid State (optional), and d) Nanoelectronics (optional), all part of the M.Sc. in Quantum Computing and Quantum Technologies at Democritus University of Thrace, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (https://quantum.ee.duth.gr/).

M. Pissas also contributes to the undergraduate course “Methods of Material Characterization” (optional) at the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences, National Technical University of Athens, and INN Demokritos. He is responsible for the experimental lesson on magnetic measurements.
