Hi, I'm Haris Katsikogiannis. I'm an astronomer and programmer with a passion for writing code that help scientists and engineers do their work better. Welcome to my website!

Currently located in the beautiful city of Leiden, Netherlands.

Research Interests

My personal research interests include radio astronomy, exploring the universe at radio wavelengths to study galaxy formation, active galactic nuclei, and interstellar phenomena. To support this and other research, I focus heavily on writing software for astronomy to develop easy to use, open-source tools tailored specifically for astronomical data processing. Additionally, I am passionate about training and implementing general artificial intelligence models (especially classical machine learning techniques) in science and engineering to solve problems and aid in research.
