Lagoyannis Anastasios

Born in 1973, Dr. Lagoyannis, studied physics at the University of Ioannina, Greece and received his PhD in 2001. For his PhD thesis, he carried out experimental work at GANIL, Caen, France, that focussed on the structure of exotic light nuclei using proton scattering in inverse kinematics with radioactive beams. At the same time he was a visiting fellow at CEA-Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. After completing his military service in 2003, he was appointed as Research Assistant at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of "Demokritos" and was responsible for the recent upgrade works at the Tandem accelerator. He was a visiting scientist in a few European laboratories in the last 2 years where he carried out research in the fields of nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. He is responsible for many collaborative programs related to ion-beam-based nuclear analytical techniques. He has been a member of the organizing committees of all recent workshops and international conferences organized by INP. In the last 4 years, he has trained almost the all students who carried out experimental work at the Tandem laboratory for their Diploma in basic nuclear techniques and instrumentation. In December 2007, he was elected tenure-track research scientist. His record includes 40 peer-reviewed articles, and 15 papers in conference proceedings.

Michail Axiotis

Axiotis Michail was born in 1976 in Athens, Greece. He studied physics at the University of Cyprus and received his PhD in 2007 from the Physics Department of the National Technological University of Athens. His PhD thesis was in nuclear structure of nuclei with mass A=50. More precisely he analyzed the high spins of 52Mn with gamma-ray spectroscopy and also using Total Absorption Spectroscopy techniques he studied the beta-decay of 52Fe. In parallel, from 1999 to 2003, he had a fellowship at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro in Italy. There, he was member of the nuclear structure group and helped in the preparation and the running of almost all the experiments done with the GASP spectrometer. He also participated in experiments of the group at other laboratories like IReS, GSI and Cologne and in the building of the Clara spectrometer. Finally for a period of time between 2005 and 2006 he collaborated with Dr Demetriou on the development of global alpha-nucleus optical potentials for p-process nucleosynthesis.
