RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

The faculty members of the Section are conducting research in various areas of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Theoretical Mechanics, as well as in topics pertaining to the History and Philosophy of Physics and Astronomy. In the frame of this research, collaborations with well-known Research Centers, Astronomical Institutes and University Departments in Greece and abroad have been established, in both theoretical and observational projects. A number of M.Sc. and Ph.D. students are involved in the research programs of the Department. More details about the research areas are provided in the links of this site and the personal websites of the staff members.
