Education

Ioannis "Yannis" Liodakis obtained his BSc in Physics from the University of Patras in 2012 and his MSc in Advanced Physics from the Dept. of Physics of the University of Crete in 2014. He completed his PhD in Astrophysics in 2017, also from the University of Crete. His thesis was entitled "Unvealing the physics of the most active of galaxies: connecting blazar theory and observations" and it was performed under the supervision of Prof. V. PavlidouHis academic genealogy tree is here.

Career

After his PhD, he moved to Stanford University and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) as a Kavli postdoctoral fellow (2017-2020). He became a FINCA  and Gruber fellow at the Finnish Center for Astronomy with ESO, University of Turku (2020-2023), and a NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Marshall Space Flight Center (2023-). In 2023 he was awarded an ERC starting grant entitled "BOOTES: Black hOle Optical polarization TimE-domain Survey" and he will be joining IA-FORTH as a tenured Researcher C in 2024.

Interests

Supermassive black holes, active galactic nuclei, astrophysical jets, blazars, tidal disruption events, multiwavelength polarimetry

Antoniadis

Antoniadis
Education

Ioannis (John) Antoniadis  obtained his BSc in Physics in 2009 from the University of Thessaloniki and his PhD from the University of Bonn in 2013. His thesis entitled “Multi-wavelength studies of pulsars and their companions” was recognized with the best thesis award of the Univ. of Bonn, as the best thesis in nuclear, atomic and gravitational physics by the German Physics Society, as well as by the Springer Thesis Award. His academic genealogy tree is here.

Career

After completing his thesis he was a postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radioastronomy (MPIfR) during 2013-14 before moving to the Univ. of Toronto (Canada) as a Dunlup Fellow. He returned to Bonn as a postdoc at MPIfR until 2019 and then he became a Research Fellow of at MPIfR and the Argelander Institute for Radioastronomy in 2019. In late 2020 he was elected as a tenure track Associate Researcher at the Institute  of Astrophysics - FORTH and formally joined the Institute in early 2021.

Interests

Formation and evolution of compact stars, supernovae, binary neutron stars, radio pulsars, tests of fundamental physics, equation-of-state of nuclear matter.
