My primary field of expertise is atmospheric modeling, with particular emphasis on numerical weather prediction and regional climate modeling. I have been working with atmospheric numerical models for more than 10 years, focusing particularly on the development of tools and services that support the protection of the environment, life and property. In recent years, I have been specializing in fire meteorology, fire spread prediction and fire-atmosphere interactions. Within this context, I led the development of a novel fire spread forecasting system that currently supports operationally the Hellenic Fire Corps. My publication record includes 33 publications in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, which have attracted 416 citations (h- index = 12).

I am currently a space physics researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center working with the LAMP, petitSat, Artemis, and Space Precipitation Impacts missions. I started researching waves in Earth's magnetosphere as an undergraduate at Augsburg College with Mark Engebretson using ground based magnetometers in the Arctic and Antarctic. I moved away from waves to focus on geomagnetic storms and substorms during my masters at the University of Colorado Boulder with Dan Baker but returned once more to waves with my PhD at University of Newcastle NSW Australia working under Brian Fraser. My PhD thesis was on Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves during the CRRES mission and their relationship to the plasmasphere and radiation belts. During my postdoc at Dartmouth college I worked on the BARREL mission I have moved down the field line (from a space perspective) and looked at the population of particles lost due to these interactions and their impact on the ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Today I continue to bounce around the heliosphere and work to connect these regions, processes, and analysis techniques across boundaries.

I am a geologist. As such, I view Earth as the natural baseline to test models in the search for ancient biospheres on other planets. A description of my research is far more interesting than a "Short biography". You can learn about such things on my website. The research carried out in my group is field-, laboratory- and modeling-based, and seeks to understand such things as: (i) How the surface state stabilized after planetary formation around 4480 million years ago, to the time of the establishment of a permanently-oxygenated atmosphere ca. 2420 million years ago; (ii) That habitats for early life could have developed by 4400 million years ago, and the geophysical regimes that permitted the origin and proliferation of biological systems; (iii) How the geomicrobiology of contemporary microbial communities provides some insight into the nature of the dominant biome(s) on the young Earth; (iv) What information is preserved through physical/chemical changes endemic to high-grade metamorphic terranes; (v) What these results from the ancient rock record might mean in terms of the establishment of habitability for Earth-like Exoplanets; and, (vi) How can the isotopic and chemical composition of the planets be reconciled with their dynamical formation history?

Since 2006 he works in Space Applications & Research Consultancy (SPARC).

Since September 2009 I am working at the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics e.V.. My main fields of expertise are related to the following topics: - remote sensing - radar observations of atmospheric dynamics - meteor physics, meteor ablation modelling - statistical inverse theory (related to atmospheric remote sensing) - scattering theory - meteoric plasmas - data analysis global GCM and time series analysis of various atmospheric sensors (radar, lidar, radiometry, satellites) -radiometry

Kleomenis Tsiganis (b. Larissa, Greece 1974) received his Diploma in Physics (1996) and his PhD (2002) from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), under an “IKY” fellowship. He worked as post-doctoral researcher (Marie Curie Fellow) at the Observatoire de Nice (CNRS, France) and as visiting researcher at the Southwest Research Institute (USA). In 2006 he was appointed Lecturer at AUTh, where he now serves as Associate Professor. He is a member of the Hellenic Astronomical Society (elected twice in GC) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). His main research interests are planetary science, celestial mechanics and dynamical astronomy. His work focuses mainly on the formation and evolution of the solar system, the chaotic dynamics and physical evolution of asteroids, and the dynamics of satellites and space debris. He has co-authored >100 scientific publications (with >5000 citations) and participated in >30 international conferences. He is regular reviewer for major scientific journals and funding agencies. He has lectured for ESA’s Astronauts basic training program (2016) and participated in the definition of Europe’s Road-Map for Astrobiology research (ESF’s Experts Panel member, 2016). He has received several distinctions for his work, including the renaming of an asteroid to “(21775) Tsiganis” by the IAU (2008), the “George Foteinou Prize” by the Academy of Athens (2013) and the international “Paollo Farinella Prize” by the European Planetary Science Congress (2016).
