Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnastasios Tzanidakis is an astrophysicist and data-driven researcher with nine years of experience developing time-series algorithms and statistical tools for large surveys like LSST and Kepler. As Planetarium Program Director and a PhD candidate at the University of Washington, he blends public-facing science communication and teaching with hands-on algorithm development for anomaly detection in stellar variability. His background includes contributions to open-source tools (e.g., lightkurve) and applied Bayesian and cross-matching methods honed during internships at NASA Ames and research roles at Caltech. Comfortable translating complex astronomy into engaging outreach, he also advocates for open science and builds reproducible pipelines that serve both research teams and broader communities.
