In 1972, he became a research fellow at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and from 1975 to 1978, he worked with the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1980, Tovar continued his studies of Greek language, history, and culture at Harvard University as a "Visiting Scholar."[2]

Contributions to Greek Philology
