Bodosaki Foundation – Scientific Awards 2025: The 4 young scientists who were awarded

In the crowded peristyle of the Zappeion, four pioneering researchers and innovative scientists, who contribute to the progress of knowledge and society, were honored at the Bodosakis Foundation’s scientific awards ceremony for 2025, in the presence of the state and the state and the public and important personalities.

The award -winners, who erase a brilliant scientific course in and outside Greece, have brought their fascinating scientific worlds to life with their presentations: Modeling the invisible universe, revealing the degree of social integration of immigrants with statistical data, decoding themselves and decoding the human -downturn. bark using artificial intelligence.

OR Maria PetropoulouAssistant Professor of Physics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, was awarded with the Scientific Award for Basic Sciences in the Physics Branche. During the ceremony he attempted an exploration of the invisible universe, presenting how the combination of three messengers (light, cosmic rays and neutrin) offers us a more complete picture of objects that are hundreds of millions of light years away from us. Her work bridges the theory with astronomical observations and is part of the rapidly evolving area of ​​high -end astrophysical actions and multiple messengers, seeking solutions to fundamental problems of astrophysics.

OR Vicky FoucaAssociate Professor of Political Science at Stanford University was awarded with the Scientific Award for Social Sciences in the Political Science industry And he presented how by combining historical and statistical analysis he examines societies that have received large migratory flows over time, studying how different factors and different state policies have influenced the social integration and social identities of immigrants. Combining models of human behavior from economic science and social psychology, it approaches research in the social sciences through the coupling of different theoretical and empirical approaches.

H Stavroula HatziouAssociate Professor of Molecular, Cell and Development Biology and Chemistry at Yale University Awarded with Scientific Award for Bioe Sciences in Biomedical Sciences. Asked how our body distinguishes between good and bad germs, it began its presentation, recommending us the research of its laboratory in Yale, which, with the conjunction of chemistry and microbiology, aims to understand complex interactions in the human body, and its findings. Through her work she hopes to contribute to the development of new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers and to reveal new connections between diet, bacteria and diseases, inspiring younger generations of scientists and in particular women.

THE John GioulekasAssociate Professor at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, awarded with the Scientific Award in Applied Technology Sciences in Artificial Intelligence Branch. His research work in computational imaging opens new horizons in many areas, including “visualization outside the visual line”, one of the great successes of computational imaging over the last decade. At the awards ceremony he explained how this technology allows, through appropriate computing algorithms, the creation of a three -dimensional imaging of “hidden” objects, which are not visible to a camera, and is applied to a large number of fields, such as endoscopy for medicine and industry, and on rescue missions and similar military missions.

The award of the Bodosaki Foundation Scientific Awards 2025 was held by two distinguished scientists, awarded a scientific award in 1996. Professor Ioannis Kevrekidis, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering Princeton University, a member of the Academy of Athens, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the US National Academy of Arts and Sciences, awarded the 1996 Scientific Award for Applied Sciences and Technology in the field of Systems, Human and Government and Government Chemical Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens, a member of the Academy of Athens and the National Academy of Engineering in the US and awarded the 1996 Scientific Award for the Basic Sciences in the Chemistry.

The social role of science was highlighted by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. of the Bodosaki Foundation, Athena Desypris, in her address, stating: “The institution of scientific awards further highlights the social role of science, as the award -winners open up prospects in critical areas for humanity, propose solutions, solutions and solutions. It is our duty and honor to continue to support and recognize their work. “

The institution of the Bodosaki Foundation’s scientific awards highlights, every two years, the work of Greeks and Greeks, during citizenship or gender, up to 40 years of age, who are distinguished for their excellent contribution to the fields of basic sciences and sciences and sciences. Since 1992, the scientific awards have been awarded to 65 Greek and Greek scientists.
