Ioannis (Yannis) Liodakis
NASA postdoctoral fellow
Marshall Space Flight Center
I am an NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Marshall Space Flight Center. I study jets from supermassive black holes in the centers of distant galaxies. I am particularly fond of a particular category of such objects called blazars, which are the most persistently bright objects in the known Universe.
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 (OVRO, RoboPol, LSST-AGN science, IXPE, Fermi, MAGIC, CTA) that study jets across the electromagnetic and particle spectrum.
​
For more information on my research endeavors see my CV and publication list.
