About me

I am a graduate physicist with a deep interest in neutrino and astroparticle physics. I am particularly drawn to the challenge of connecting experimental data with theory through practical applications of computational and statistical methods.

I recently completed my M.Sc. in Physics at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen–Nürnberg, where I worked within the KM3NeT and ANTARES collaborations at the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP). My master's thesis featured the first feasibility study of tau-neutrino appearance using the full ANTARES dataset. I have extensive experience developing large-scale Monte Carlo simulation chains and applying machine learning models for event reconstruction, leveraging HPC clusters for data-intensive analysis.

My foundation in experimental physics was built during my B.Sc. at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. There, I coordinated the trajectory subsystem for the AcubeSAT nanosatellite mission, modeling orbital radiation, and contributed to the KM3NeT/ORCA experiment through an internship at NCSR "Demokritos.

Beyond research, I am passionate about science communication and mentoring. Outside of physics, I enjoy strategic games like chess and immersive role-playing campaigns.
