Chanlaridis

Chanlaridis Savvas
Education

Savvas Chanlaridis obtained his BSc in Physics in 2016 from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) where he majored in Nuclear & Elementary Particle Physics. He then moved to the University of Bonn (Germany) from where he was awarded a MSc in Astrophysics in 2019. His master thesis was titled "Non-accreting Helium Stars as Progenitors of Thermonuclear Supernovae" and was performed under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Norbert Langer and Dr. John Antoniadis at the Argelander-Institute of Astronomy.

Career

Savvas Chanlaridis moved back to Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2020 as a guest researcher in the group of Prof. Dr. Nikolaos Stergioulas where he studied the effect of stellar wind on the evolution of low-mass helium stars. In 2021 he joined the Dept. of Physics of the University of Crete and the Institute of Astrophysics - FORTH as a PhD student in order to work on the understanding of the mass spectrum of neutron stars under the supervision of Dr. John Antoniadis.
