My research is currently centered around algebraic structures underlying gauge theories and gravity. More specifically, I am interested in understanding the kinematic algebra of gauge theories such as Yang-Mills theory and investigate how it gives rise to properties such as color-kinematics duality. I am currently focused on recovering this homotopy algebra from a worldline theory, using tools such as deformation quantization and vertex operator algebras.
I am passionate about science outreach and making my research accessible for people who are unfamiliar with our field. To that end, I have participated the outreach project "Non Standard Models" (Instagram and YouTube videos), as well as in public events such as Soapbox Science and Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Berlin. Within the RTG, I contribute the equal opportunities board, where our activities include initiatives such offering internships for members of underrepresented groups in physics. Before my PhD studies, I was also volunteering as a tutor for high school students with an underprivileged background in my home city of Athens.
When I'm not thinking about gauge theories, you'll probably find me crocheting, playing the piano, reading books or playing video games.
