Thank you for stopping by to my personal website!

My name is Savvas Chanlaridis (pronounced Sáv-vas Han-la-ri-dis) and I am a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics - FORTH, Greece, in the Stellar AfterLife & Transients group led by John Antoniadis.

I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) where I minored in Nuclear & Elementary Particle Physics. I then moved to the University of Bonn (Germany) from where I was awarded a Master of Science degree in Astrophysics.

In 2020 I moved back to Aristotle University of Thessaloniki as a guest researcher in the Gravitational Waves group led by Nikolaos Stergioulas where I studied the effect of stellar wind on the evolution of low-mass helium stars. In 2021 I joined the Deparment of Physics of the University of Crete and the Institute of Astrophysics - FORTH as a PhD candidate in order to work on the understanding of the mass spectrum of neutron stars.

In 2024, I embarked on an exciting new academic journey, pursuing a second Master of Science degree in Data Science and Machine Learning at the Hellenic Open University. This decision was fueled by my profound interest in the power of data-driven methods to unravel complex astrophysical phenomena and push the boundaries of astrophysical research. I am particularly excited about integrating machine learning and advanced data analysis techniques into my research, as I believe they hold the key to unlocking new insights into stellar evolution and transient phenomena.
