Education:
- From
September 1995 to June 1998 I studied at the Secondary School
of Apostolos Varnavas
where I
have received my High School Diploma (GPA 18.5/20).
- From
July 1998 to September 2000 I performed my military
duty at the Cyprus Army,
where after
a 16 - month training I became an Artillery Sub-Lieutenant.
- From
September 2000 to June 2004 I studied at the department
of
Physics of the University
of Cyprus
where I have
received my Bachelor’s degree (GPA 9.07/10.0). In the final year I
completed my thesis entitled: “Perturbative computation using the
Clover and Overlap improved actions”
- At
present, I am a registered
student in the Theoretical Physics D.Phil program of the University
of
Oxford and I have already completed my second year. My supervisor
is
Dr. Mike Teper.
