Main Focus
My research focuses on the analytical description of the relativistic two-body problem, particularly for systems involving spinning compact objects. I am interested in developing and connecting methods from scattering amplitudes, black-hole perturbation theory, and effective field theory to efficiently compute gravitational observables and improve our understanding of compact-binary dynamics. These tools provide complementary ways of accessing the highly relativistic regime and of constructing increasingly precise descriptions of the dynamics relevant for gravitational-wave physics.

Curriculum Vitae
2018–2023: Bachelor of Science degree in Physics at the University of Cyprus.
2023–2025: Master of Science degree in Physics at the University of Copenhagen. I carried out my M.Sc. thesis, Spinning Black Hole Binary Dynamics, at the Niels Bohr Institute under the supervision of N. Emil J. Bjerrum-Bohr and Gang Chen.
Since October 2026, I am a doctoral researcher in the Research Training Group 2575 Rethinking Quantum Field Theory at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I work with Jan Steinhoff at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) on analytical methods for the relativistic two-body problem.
