I graduated from the Physics department at the University of Crete, Greece, in 2022 and obtained a Master of Sciences (MSc) degree in Advanced Physics in 2023 from the same university. Since 2023, I am a graduate Fellow in the Dept. of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. I am broadly interested in high-energy astrophysics and cosmology topics. I make extensive use of Princeton's computational resources to study the underlying physics governing high-energy astroplasma phenomena (numerical). Yet, I also enjoy performing analytical calculations (pencil and paper) whenever possible. My current research interests, among others, include: understanding the accretion onto magnetized neutron stars via particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations focusing on the dissipation of the accretion energy close to the neutron star and the associated radiation, formation and long-term evolution of electrostatic collisionless shocks, electromagnetic emission of X-ray pulsars and cyclotron line formation in accreting strongly magnetized neutron stars, the origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and the properties of their host galaxies, the nature of dark matter, and strong gravitational lensing from super-massive compact objects (SMCOs).
I am always excited to chat about any physics-rich astrophysical problem. Feel free to reach out. :)
