About Me
I received my BS in Physics from the University of Athens in 2010. I earned a PhD in Physics from Montana State University in 2016, for which I was awarded the Jürgen Ehlers Thesis Prize from the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation in 2019. I held postdoctoral fellow positions at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics from 2016 to 2018 and the Center for Computational Astrophysics of the Flatiron Institute from 2018 to 2020. I joined Caltech as an Assistant Professor of Physics in 2020 and was one of the inaugural William H. Hurt Scholars in 2021. In 2022 I received the Young Scientist Prize in General Relativity and Gravitation from The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. In 2022 I was selected as an Alfred P. Sloan research fellow in Physics. In 2022 I received the Early Career award from the Department of Energy. Since 2022 I have been a Perimeter Institute Visiting Fellow. In 2025 I was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers
