Aris Spourdalakis

Aris Spourdalakis completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Athens, where he worked on variational approaches to continuity equations. He completed a MSc at the University of Toronto with a focus on high energy theory. He graduated with a PhD from the University of Toronto, with work focusing on the foundations of Effective Field Theories for Jet physics. He has also worked on machine learning methods for anomaly detection in a QCD background. He is currently working with the HOCTOOLS group at the NCSR-“Demokritos”. In all of his research, the underlying theme is the precision determination of the Standard model background, which will allow the search for BSM physics in the precision frontier. He is also active in the teaching and communication of physics to various post-secondary audiences.
