Researcher C (Assistant Professor equivalent)
Institute of Astrophysics - FORTH
I am a scientist at the Institute of Astrophysics -FORTH. I study supermassive black holes in the centers of distant galaxies. I am particularly fond of two particular categories of such objects called blazars and tidal disruption events.
Research Interests
I am interested in the multiwavelength - multimessenger emission from supermassive black hole jets in all forms, shapes, and sizes.
I am a member of many international collaborations (LSST-AGN science, IXPE, Fermi and others) that study jets across the electromagnetic and particle spectrum.
For more information on my research endeavors see my CV and publication list.
