Artemisia (Artemis) Spyrou is an experimental nuclear astrophysicist and professor at Michigan State University. She is also the Associate Director for Education and Outreach[1] at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. She was the recipient of a NSF CAREER Award.[2]
Early life and education
Spyrou was born in Limassol, Cyprus. She received an undergraduate degree in physics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2001 and a master's degree in physics from the National Technical University of Athens in 2003.[3] She received a PhD from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the National Centre of Scientific Research "Demokritos" and National Technical University of Athens in 2007, where she studied experimental nuclear astrophysics using the Dynamitron Tandem accelerator (DTL) at the University of Bochum.[3]
Research
Spyrou is an experimental physicist who uses the isotope beams at the
Recognition
In 2011, Spyrou was awarded the Thomas H. Osgood Faculty Teaching Award[6] from the department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University for her dedication to undergraduate education in the department. She was also featured on an episode of PBS Curious Crew.[7]
In 2021, she was named a
