Anastasios Tzanidakis

I am a second-year Astronomy Ph.D. student at the University of Washington. Currently, I work under Dr. Eric Bellm and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory data commissioning team with a focus on time-series analysis and transients by writing and evaluating period-finding algorithms that will be implemented in the alert production of the forthcoming of the Rubin Observatory. I also work with Dr. James Davenport on the discovery and characterization of long-deep-eclipsing stellar systems using Gaia
