OVERVIEW
I am a 5th year physics graduate student at the University of Florida. Having obtained my Bachelors at the University of Crete, I came to UF to pursue a doctorate in cosmology. My research directions are divided roughly into two categories: topological defect phenomenology and inflation. I am an avid lover of martial arts and manga, and am always happy to discuss interesting physics problems:)
Education
BSc, Physics, University of Crete, Greece
MSc, Physics, University of Florida, USA
Research Interests
I have worked on topological defect phenomenology and inflation. On the inflation side, I am interested in studying the evolution of spectator fields during inflation and how their interactions can be intepreted stochastically. On the topological defect side, I am interested in observational signatures of cosmic string networks, most notably how to capture them using analytical methods. Links to my work can be found below.
