Hello there! I'm a PhD candidate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam.
In September 2023, I started my PhD at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy, where I work with Dr. Silvia Toonen and Dr. Eva Laplace on the evolution of multiple-star systems. I develop analytical models and run numerical simulations to study how stellar interactions in binary and triple systems shape their orbital evolution, ultimate fate, and the transient phenomena they produce in both electromagnetic and gravitational-wave radiation. I am a core member of the LISA Consortium and of the BLOeM collaboration.
Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies in Physics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where I worked with Dr. Padelis Papadopoulos and Dr. Kleomenis Tsiganis. I also spent a semester abroad at the University of Lancashire, where I worked with Dr. Dimitris Stamatellos. For my Master’s thesis, I investigated mass transfer from a tertiary star onto the inner binary using hydrodynamical simulations, under the supervision of Dr. Silvia Toonen.
