Nicholas V. Sarlis

Nicholas V. Sarlis is a Professor of Experimental Solid State Physics at the Department of Physics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens since 2017. With an h-index ≥36, he has authored 2 monographs, >155 peer-reviewed publications, and 80 conference communications.

• B.Sc. in Physics (1991), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
• Ph.D. in Physics (1997), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

His research applies Natural Time Analysis to:

• Earthquake precursor identification
• Space weather and cosmic ray studies
• Climate phenomenon prediction (El Niño)
• Fracture mechanics and complex systems
• Seismicity and geoelectric field correlations
• Non-extensive statistical mechanics applications

Recent work includes analyzing seismic entropy changes under time reversal and developing earthquake nowcasting systems. Publications span 2025's Statistical mechanics in geophysical contexts to 2024's cross-disciplinary disaster prediction tools.
