Hello There!

A few words about me!

I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Cosmology group of Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) in Madrid, working closely with Dr. Sachiko Kuroyanagi. I am also a member of the LIGO, Virgo, LISA and Euclid collaborations. Before that, I received my PhD from the University of Ioannina with Prof. Leandros Perivolaropoulos as my advisor. This means that I used to be part of this awesome Cosmology group.

My research, thus far, has been focused around the Hubble tension. Without getting too technical this a famous cosmological enigma that has to do with the differences between the values of the expansion rate of the Universe, as they're calculated using different methods. The gist of it, is that all the methods employed should produce the same value give or take, but much to our surprise they DON'T!! Is there a problem with the methodologies used? Is it a hint for new and exciting physics? Who knows? To paraphrase Sidney Coleman, God only knows at the moment and someday I hope you and me as well.

Among others, I'm interested in exploring and analysing cosmological datasets, gravitational waves, theories of modified gravity, dark energy, dark matter and solitons. When I'm not doing physics I enjoy watching movies, some tv series, reading books, programming and cooking for the lucky few that can handle it...
