MSc Student

In 2021, he became a member of the ExoClock Project, which supports the ARIEL mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). In 2024, he completed his thesis titled "Solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations for neutron stars with polytropic equations of state and continuous speed of sound," under the supervision of Professor Panagiota Kanti.

2016, he and his school’s science team participated in the ESA “ASTRO PI” competition, advancing to the next phases with two projects. In the summer of 2022, he began his bachelor’s thesis titled “Diagnostics for Compact Object Types in Extragalactic X-ray Binaries” under the supervision of Professor A. Zezas, in which he studied X-ray binaries using machine learning techniques and algorithms. He presented it in July 2024. That same summer, he was accepted to and attended the 2022 Summer School of Astrostatistics in Crete. In the summer of 2023, he completed an internship at JADBio – Gnosis DA as a junior data scientist. In the summer of 2024, he undertook an Erasmus+ internship at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. Under the supervision of Dr. Johannes Buchner, he applied simulation-based inference on eROSITA surveys of quasars and their host galaxies. At the end of this internship, he presented a poster at the “First Results from the SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey: From Stars to Cosmology” conference.

In February of 2024, he started working on his senior thesis under the supervision of Prof. Iossif Papadakis, titled "Study of the temperature radial dependence in X-ray illuminated accretion discs".

In 2024 he started working on his bachelor’s thesis titled  “X-ray Variability Studies of NGC 4051” under the supervision of professor Iossif Papadakis, which he presented in October of the same year.

In the summer of 2022, he completed his internship at Skinakas Observatory and the following summer worked there voluntarily. In the fall of 2023, he started working on his senior thesis studying the long term optical variability of Be/X-ray binaries under the supervision of Dr. Reig, which completed in the autumn of 2024. Afterwards, he started working on his thesis studying secondary standard stars in the field of view of Be/X-ray binary systems, again under the supervision of Dr. Reig.

In 2023 he worked and completed his undergraduate thesis, titled “Warm Molecular Gas in Hot Dust-Obscured Quasars”, under the supervision of Dr. Tanio Diaz-Santos. During the summer of 2022, he completed his 3-month internship as an observant in Skinakas Observatory. He is now working on his master thesis under the supervision of Prof. I. Papadakis. For his MSc thesis he will study the flux variability of the accretion discs in Active Galactic Nuclei.

In February of 2023, he started working on his senior thesis under the supervision of Prof. Iossif Papadakis, titled "UV and optical cross correlation studies in AGN at different time-scales". The objective of his thesis was to quantitatively study the long timescale variations in Active Galactic Nuclei.

In 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Vasiliki Pavlidou, he participated in the “SMILE: Search for Milli-Lenses” project, and became an official member of the project in 2021. The same year he started working, under the supervision of Dr. Casadio Carolina, on his senior thesis concerning the study of a sample of compact radio loud sources using VLBI radio data in search of strong gravitational lens systems that could account for Dark Matter halo candidates. 

He became a member of the Institute of Astrophysics in 2022 when he started working on his senior undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Prof. Iossif Papadakis to study the X-ray variability of Active Galactic Nuclei using Swift/BAT light curves. 

During the summer of 2021 she worked as an intern at the Skinakas Observatory under the supervision of Dr. Reig. In 2022 she started working on her senior thesis with Dr. Reig studying the long term optical variability of Be/X-ray binaries. She also spend 5 months at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy as an intern where she worked on the project entitled: "Do all gaps in protoplanetary discs host planets?". In 2023 she started working for her master thesis studying the long-term polarimetric variability of Be/X-ray binaries in order to study the neutron star-disc connection.
