Nix

Nix
Education

Alexia Nix graduated from the High School of Episkopi near Rethymno, and she is currently a fourth year undergraduate student at the Department of Physics of the University of Crete.

Career

At the end of 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Zezas, she commenced to study issues related to the calibration of the X-ray Luminosity and star formation rate for star forming galaxies as a function of redshift, in order to become familiar with operating programs that preform simulations. Later in the year she started working with Prof. Zezas on her undergraduate thesis.

Interests

Simulations of galaxy observations with the Athena X-ray space telescope.
