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 at the University of Amsterdam, where I work with Dr. Silvia Toonen and Dr. Eva Laplace on the evolution of multiple-star systems. I develope analytical models and use numerical simulations to understand how stellar interactions in binary and triple-star systems shape their orbital evolution, ultimate fate, and the transient phenomena they produce in both electromagnetic and gravitational-wave radiation.
Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and spent a semester abroad at the University of Lancashire. For my Master’s thesis, I studied mass transfer from a tertiary to an inner binary using hydrodynamical simulations, working with Dr. Silvia Toonen.
