I was born in the island of Crete and studied physics at the University of Patras. After finishing my MSc in Astrophysics I moved back to Crete for my PhD at the University of Crete and the Skinakas Observatory where I worked for an optical polarization project called RoboPol. Since then, I have moved back and forth across the world four times, once as a Kavli fellow at Stanford University in the USA, then as FINCA and Gruber fellow at the University of Turku in Finland,  a NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Marshall Space Flight Center, in the USA, and now faculty at the Institute of Astrophysics in Greece.

 

My research has covered a wide range of topics trying to understand the multimessenger emission of jets from supermassive black holes. I have worked on tidal disruption events, radio galaxies, gravitational lensing, supermassive black hole binaries etc., but I am particularly interested in the multiwavelength polarized emission from blazars and TDEs, the most extreme of the supermassive black hole systems.
