Education :

Grigoris Maravelias graduated from the School of Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences of the National Technical University of Athens (Greece) in 2004. He obtained his MSc in Microelectronics and Optoelectronics from the University of Crete (Greece) in 2007, and his PhD in Astrophysics in 2014 from the same university.

Career :

After completing his MSc, he served his military service (2007) and worked as a laser technician (2007-2009) at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH, Greece). In 2010, he received a fellowship from the State Scholarship Foundation of Greece, enabling him to pursue a PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Crete, which he completed in 2014. He then held postdoctoral positions at the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (2014–2016), Universidad de Valparaíso in Chile (2017), and the University of Crete and FORTH (2017–2018). From September 2018 to August 2024, he was employed at the National Observatory of Athens, contributing to the ASSESS project. Since then he has been pursuing an alternative pathway with PeriAstron, while maintaining his scientific collaboration with IA-FORTH.

Interests :

Observational Astrophysics, with focus on massive stars and their populations in galaxies, including applications and development of machine/deep-learning tools. Other interests include Professional-Amateur networking and collaborations, and Openness in Astronomy.
