Welcome

Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane.

I am currently updating context of the webpage... as always

My name is Georgios Vasilopoulos and I am researcher working in the field observational high energy astrophysics and the study of accreting objects. My research focuses particularly in X-ray pulsars and Ultra-luminous X-ray systems. I obtained my Phd from TUM while working at MPE. Following my doctoral studies I moved in New Haven while working at Yale University as a Postdoctoral associate for almost 3 years. I then moved to Strasbourg working as a postdoc and a member of the XMM-Newton SSC team and the « Galaxies, High Energy, Cosmology, Compact Objects & Stars »  group.
Since February 2023 I have moved back to Greece as I have been awarded funding through the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I) to conduct research (see Project ASTRAPE) in the University of Athens and in  the Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications (IASA).
If you browse through these pages you will find some highlights of my research, presentations that I hope to upload at some point and photos from the places I visited. Hope you enjoy some of that.
