Christina is from Greece and obtained a 4-year Physics Degree from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Greece. She then moved to Paris for a Masters in Optics, at Institut d'Optique, where she completed an internship at the quantum optics group of Philippe Grangier and another one with Frederic Grosshans at ENS Cachan.
She completed her PhD at The University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia in 2018. Her thesis included 5 publications focussed on quantum causality and causal discovery and received the Dean's Commendation and the Springer Award that got the thesis published by Springer Nature. She remained at UQ as a postdoctoral researcher for 2 years.
After a 6-month break from work to live on the coast and surf, she obtained back-to-back two Fellowships at UTS and is now at Macquarie University as a Senior Lecturer in Quantum Physics. She is now building a Research Group with a focus on non-Markovian noise: how to study it, experimentally detect it, and finally get rid of it (or work with it).
Outside the office, Christina teaches in Macquarie, surfs at Northern Beaches, skateboards and plays electric guitar.
