Student

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).
 

He joined the Institute of Astrophysics in 2024, when he commenced his research, under  the supervision of Prof. Kylafis, on problems related to scattering in the strong magnetic fields of neutron stars.

In 2024 he started working on his bachelor’s thesis titled “X-ray Variability Studies of NGC 4051” under the supervision of Prof. Iossif Papadakis.

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.

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

In 2024 she joined the Institute of Astrophysics when she started her practical training at Skinakas observatory.

Both her MS and BS thesis (respectively entitled “Mitigating unbalanced training sets for machine learning: generation of synthetic SEDs for the selection of high-redshift quasar” and “Study of time dependence of Planck-LFI detector properties”) were carried out in collaboration with INAF. Her PhD project will be focused on polarisation of blazar emission, with observations carried out at the Skinakas Observatory.
