Postdoctoral Researcher

He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Commissariat à l´énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) in Saclay - Paris (2013-2014) and VR international postdoc fellow at Yale University (USA) and NORDITA (Denmark) during 2014-2017.

As an undergraduate student he performed research at the Polarization Spectroscopy Lab of IESL/FORTH (2014-2015) and with the Astrophysics Group of the Dept. of Physics (2016-17). His PhD was on the instrumentation and software of the PASIPHAE project. Since 2025 he is a postdoctoral researcher with the BOOTES project. 

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.

Upon completion of her PhD she continued as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics. 

After a short period of Junior research fellow at the Astronomical Institute of the St. Petersburg University he moved to Crete in 2013. In Crete, he has been a member of the RoboPol project, an international collaboration on optopolarimetric studies of active galactic nuclei. His research was mainly focused on studies of optical polarization behavior in blazars and its connection to high-energy emission of these sources. Since 2017, he has joined the PASIPHAE project, an international collaboration on the mapping of polarized foregrounds for Cosmic Microwave Background B-mode searches through a large-scale optopolarimetric survey of high Galactic latitudes.
