Nikos Tetradis was born in Greece in 1963. He obtained his BS in physics from the University of Athens in 1986, and his PhD in physics from Stanford University in 1991. He held research posts at DESY in Hamburg (1991-1993), Oxford University, with a Marie Curie Fellowship (1993-1995), CERN (1995-1997), Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (1997-1999), University of Crete (2000-2002). Since 2002 he has been a member of the faculty of the Department of Physics of the University of Athens, as Associate Professor (2002-2012) and Professor (2012-present). He has held visiting posts at European and American institutes: Visiting Professor, Stanford University (2008–2009); Scientific Associate, CERN (2013-2014, 2019-2020); Corresponding Associate, CERN (2016, 2017, 2018). He served as Chairman of the Department of Physics of the University of Athens (September 2016 – August 2018).
His research areas include
• Beyond the Standard Model physics
• Dark matter and dark energy
• Cosmological perturbations and large scale structure
• Inflation and supersymmetry
• Phase transitions and the exact renormalization group
• Applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence
His research work contains 105 papers and 22 contributions to conference proceedings. It has received around 4600 citations by other researchers, according to the database INSPIRE Literature Search - INSPIRE (inspirehep.net). His most cited works are on the exact renormalization group, baryogenesis/leptogenesis and the stability of the electroweak vacuum. He contributed to the initiation of the biannual series of Conferences on the Exact Renormalization Group, and served as chair of the organizing committee for three of them.
