Student

In 2024, he started working on his senior thesis concerning testing the accuracy of magnetic field estimation methods in star-forming regions, using simulations of collapsing molecular clouds, under the supervision of Prof. Tassis. In the summer of 2024, he completed his internship at Skinakas Observatory.

During her senior high school years she participated in various mathematical contests of the Greek Mathematical Society and she was awarded the "Euclides" prize twice and the "Thales" prize three times. In October of 2022 she joined the Institute of Astrophysics at FORTH. She is currently working on topics related to high-energy cosmic rays under the supervision of Prof. Pavlidou and Prof. Tassis. She was awarded the 2023 George Grammatikakis prize for her academic performance.

During her undergraduate studies, she worked on modeling nonlinear phase transitions in the Early Dark Energy field. For her PhD, she is workin on characterising the effect of tensor fluctuations on CMB spectra and bispectra for a wide range of nonlinear inflationary scenarios. In Crete, she is exploring the statistics of cosmic structure formation with applications on turnaround-scale cosmology. She is a recipient of an Isaac Newton studentship at Cambridge, and was awarded both a Barry Goldwater scholarship and a Clare Boothe Luce scholarship during her undergraduate career, for her work in numerical cosmology.

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. 

In her bachelor’s thesis she focused on diffusive shock acceleration in supernova remnants and in her master’s thesis “Investigating the multi-TeV emission of GRB 221009A” she investigated proton-induced cascade emissions in GRBs. In 2025, she joined the University of Crete and the Institute of Astrophysics (IA-FORTH) as a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Vasiliki Pavlidou.

As a student, he represented Greece in various Balkan and International mathematics competitions (JBMO,BMO,IMO).

He has worked on projects analyzing data from meteorological stations, investigating urban emissions, and detecting wildfires across Europe. Currently he is part of "PARSEC", a project collaboratively implemented by the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) and the Institute of Astrophysics (IA) of FORTH. At this project, he develops and applies a machine-assisted methodology for constructing and curating semantically enriched astrophysical catalogs in the form of knowledge graphs under the supervision of Dr. Leonidaki (IA-FORTH) and Dr. Flouris (ICS - FORTH).
