Student

In 2024 he joined the Institute of Astrophysics at FORTH when he started working on the topic of Expansion of Extragalactic Catalogues under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Zezas.

During his last year of his undergraduate studies he worked on the hierarchical formation of intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters. During his master’s degree he developed an interest in accretion phenomena through X-ray observations and took part in an exchange program at the University of Groningen where he worked on the variability and phase-lags analysis of X-ray photons in low-mass X-ray binaries. His Ph.D. project focuses on the study of X-ray reverberation and time-lags in AGNs.

During his Bachelor studies, he worked on dispersion measure time series of the pulsars J0613–0200 and J1643–1224, under Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA) collaboration. For his MSc thesis, he studied jet precession and variability in M81 using multi-epoch VLBA and EVN observations and led a radio flares monitoring campaign with the Effelsberg 100 m telescope. For his Ph.D. studies, he is working on energy-dependent power spectral densities (PSDs) of Active Galactic Nuclei.

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.

In October of 2025, she started working on her senior thesis on the topic of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) under the supervision of Dr. Ioannis Liodakis.

In 2025, he joined the Institute of Astrophysics at FORTH, following a research internship in Skinakas Observatory. As a member of Dr. Ioannis Liodakis’ BOOTES project team, he started conducting his thesis on circular polarimetry.

In 2025 she completed a summer internship programm at Skinakas observatory, Institute of Astrophysics (FORTH). In the same year she started working on her bachelor's thesis about circular polarization under the supervision of Dr Ioannis Liodakis.

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. 

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.
