The campaign to restore legality moved forward and achieved positive results, despite the reactions of illegal groups.

Research and Teaching Boudouvis's work focuses on transport phenomena and computational methods in engineering. His research interests include interfacial phenomena, nonlinear dynamics, and large-scale scientific computing. Over his tenure, he has supervised more than 20 doctoral dissertations and over 100 diploma theses.

In 2024, he was honored with the Award for Excellence in Academic Teaching by the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH). The award, given in memory of V. Xanthopoulos and S. Pnevmatikos, was presented by the President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
