Achilleas Porphyriadis

Achilleas Porphyriadis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Crete since 2022. He holds a BS from MIT (2010) and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Harvard University (2016). Prior roles include postdoctoral research at UC Santa Barbara (2016-2019) and Harvard's Black Hole Initiative (2019-2022).

His research focuses on Theoretical High Energy Physics and Gravity, with emphasis on black hole dynamics, gravitational waves, holographic binaries, and string theory applications. Specific interests include extreme black hole horizons, symmetry properties, and quantum gravity phenomena.

Recent articles explore topics like accidental symmetries in extreme spinning black holes (2025), gravitational perturbations in AdS₂ geometries (2021), and logarithmic entropy corrections (2017). His work often bridges classical gravity with holographic duality frameworks.

He is affiliated with the Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics and the Crete Center for Theoretical Physics (CCTP). No awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts.
