about Grigoris Maravelias

the basics

who am i?

Astrophysicist with a robust foundation in Physics and Engineering, complemented by proficient Data Science skills encompassing statistics and machine/deep learning applications.

current position

Since September 2018 I am working as a post-doc at the National Observatory of Athens (although you will finding me more in Heraklion, Crete), with Dr. Alceste Bonanos for the ASSESS project.

research interests

Observational Astrophysics focusing on stellar astrophysics and massive stars (phases, evolution), in different galaxies. Use of statistical tools and implementation of machine/deep learning approaches. Professional-amateur networking and collaborations, and Openness in Astronomy.
