Biography: |
Alexandros K. Tsioumis was born in Tsotili, Kozani on March 28, 1937, where he spent his student years. In 1954 he graduated from Tsotiliou High School and came to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki to study Physics . After obtaining his degree in 1959 and after completing his military service (1959-1961) as a hoplite topographer, he worked as a high school teacher of physics at the American College "Anatolia" (1961-1963). In 1963, he started postgraduate studies at the "Demokritos" nuclear research center in the field of nuclear physics. In November 1965 he was appointed assistant at the Laboratory of Geodetic Astronomy of the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he worked under the supervision of Professor L. N. Mavridis. In 1971 he received his educational leave and until 1973 he was in Heidelberg, then West Germany, where he was a research associate of the "Astronomisches Recheninstitut". After his return to Greece, he completed his doctoral dissertation entitled "Contribution to the study of the spiral structure of the galaxy with the help of red stars", which he submitted to the School of Physics and Mathematics. Short. He was awarded a doctorate in May 1974. In 1982, he joined as Lecturer the Department of Geodesy and Topography of the Department of Agronomy and Surveying Engineering of the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In February 1973, he was transferred to the position of part time research associate of the Laboratory of Geodetic Astronomy, and in 1979 he became a full-time research associate of the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In the spring of 1984 he was elected Permanent Assistant Professor, in the winter of 1987 an Associate Professor and in 1991 a Professor. He authored four books and 45 scientific papers. Throughout this course he is accompanied by Chrysanthi Mavropoulou-Tsioumi with whom he had two children. He passed away on Friday, October 25, 2002.

Research Scientist, Australia Telescope, National Facility. He was born in Kerastari, Tripolis, Greece on the 1st of May, 1952 and he migrated to Australia in 1970. He received his B.Sc. (Honors in Physics) from the University of Sydney, Australia (1976), the B.E. (Honors in Electrical Engineering - 1978) and the Ph.D. (1987) from the same University. He worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Jodrell Bank, U.K (1987- 90), and has been a staff member at the Australia Telescope National Facility since 1990. He is a member of the Astronomical Society of Australia, the Hellenic Astronomical Society (Hel.A.S.), the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the Union of Radio Science International (URSI) and COSPAR. He is involved in international radio spectrum management and he is chairman of Working Party 7D (WP7D) at the International Radiocommunications Union (ITU), chairman of the IAU Working group on RFI Mitigation, vice-chair of the scientific committee on frequency allocations for radio astronomy and space science (IUCAF) and chair of the Radio Astronomy Committee for Frequency Allocation in the Asia Pacific (RAFCAP). His main research interests are in high resolution radio astronomy using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) techniques to study objects such as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) to X-ray Binaries. He is also involved in technical developments for real-time VLBI (e-VLBI) using very fast networks world-wide. |
