Dr. Athina Meli holds a PhD in Astrophysics from the famous Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London.
She has conducted awarded research in the internationally known Max-Planck Institute for Radioastronomy Bonn. She has also conducted state-of-the-art research and lectured in University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, University of Dortmund, University of Athens, University of Liege and University of Gent.
Athina has been studying the relativistic acceleration mechanisms of high energy Cosmic-rays and the phenomenological properties of relativistic extragalactic sources. She has been a member and partner of major international cosmic-ray and neutrino observatory experiments such as AUGER, IceCube, Antares, Km3net. Recently she joined the Vera C. Rubin Telescope Observatory (LSST) Transients and Variable Stars Science Collaboration and the Athena-X ray Observatory WG. She serves as editor and reviewer for several international scientific peer-reviewed journals and she is a co-founder and member of the scientific committee of the Belgian Cosmoparticle Network.
Presently her scientific interests focus on supercomputer 3D-PIC simulations studying the nature and behavior of the relativistic jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (Black Holes) and Gamma-ray bursts, focusing on the effects the magnetized jets have into the acceleration of high energy cosmic-rays and the role they play on the consequent associated multi-wavelength observations of radio, x-ray or gamma-ray radiation.
