Vassiliki (Vicky) Kalogera's other interests:
My research interests cover a wide range of problems related to the origin and evolution of compact objects in stellar systems found both in the Milky Way and other galaxies. I am most interested in the formation of compact objects in binary systems, where mostly unobservable neutron stars and black holes can be revived as unique sources of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation.
