Dr. Theodore E. Liolios is a nuclear-atomic physicist, who served as an Adjunct Professor (1998-2000) at the Special Weapons Chair of the Hellenic Army War College before being elected (2001) Professor of Physics in the School of Deck Officers at the Hellenic Merchant Marine Academy of Hydra (the oldest Maritime Academy in the world). In 2003 the faculty of the Academy elected him Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies. The difficult and adverse conditions of the island life (combined with its high cost of living and its lack of accommodation) led him to resign from the Merchant Marine Academy and join (2004) the faculty of the Physics Department of the Hellenic Military University (Hellenic Army Academy ) where he know holds a permanent teaching-research position. In 2005 he was elected Director of the Nuclear & Atomic Physics Laboratory of the Academy (three-year tenure). His current research is focused on (a) nuclear-atomic physics, (b) nuclear astrophysics, and (c) special weapons effects and defenses. Among other courses, he also teaches modern weapons physics and military science and technology.
He received a B.Sc. in physics and a Ph.D. in
nuclear-atomic physics from the University
of Thessaloniki (
He has been awarded various prizes and distinctions by
the Hellenic Armed Forces for his teaching and research.
He has taught
hundreds of superior Hellenic Army officers during his stay
as an adjunct professor of the
He has supervised more than twenty graduation
theses at the higher education institutes where he has served.
He has taught hundreds
of marine officers as a full professor of physics at the Hellenic Merchant Marine
Academy
He is the author of the book "Effects of Depleted Uranium Weapons and
Nuclear Weapons Accidents" (in
Greek, with a forward by the MIT Prof. Kosta Tsipis ) while lots of his unpublished notes are still used
by the teaching staff of the Hellenic Army War College. He is also the author
of the book “Arms Control” (in Greek, with a forward by the Dean of the
He is an advisor to various members of the
Hellenic Parliament while he very often appears on
national channel TV debating issues related to special weapons effects and
defenses.
He is the Director of: "Athena"
, the Hellenic Arms Control Center which
also operates the Hellenic Radiation Control
Institute.
He is a member of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics
Society and the Hellenic Nuclear Medicine Society.
He is a referee and a member of the Advisory Board of: The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear
Medicine
He is a referee of the world-leading nuclear
physics journals: Nuclear
Physics A, European
Physical Journal A.
Before assuming his current permanent position, Dr. Theodore Liolios had been awarded various post-doctoral fellowships in nuclear physics:
Post-doctoral fellowship by the Hellenic Foundation of Grants and Scholarships
(University of Thessaloniki)
Post-doctoral
nuclear fellowship by the
Marie-Curie
post-doctoral fellowship by the European Commission (Aarhus University,
Denmark) (in the group of Professor
Karlheinz Langanke.)
Due to his expertise in radiological explosions,
the Hellenic Ministry of Labor appointed him permanent inspector in the field
of radiation control. He soon resigned from that position in order to fully
focus on his academic career in Physics.
His most recent research papers can be found at the Los Alamos National Laboratory while his
current interests in nuclear physics include:
The solar neutrino problem and the associated
uncertainties of the standard solar model.
The atomic effects that influence the results of
nuclear experiments at astrophysical energies
The acceleration of thermonuclear reactions
rates in astrophysical plasmas due to plasma screening
The acceleration of nuclear reactions rates in
neutron star surfaces due to their ultra-strong magnetic field
Pycnonuclear reactions
in dense stars
Computational Nuclear Astrophysics: Prof. Liolios is working on the TYCHO stellar
evolution code, developing further its capabilities.
Prof. Liolios is considered an expert in the following fields of military science:
Nuclear, Chemical and Biological weapons effects
and defences
Depleted Uranium weapons effects
Space weapons
Non-lethal weapons
He often lectures on these subjects in
Following an invitation from Prof. Steve Fetter , Dr. Liolios joined the faculty
of the CISSM (University of Maryland) under
an official
ministerial decision which authorized his sabbatical leave (autumn semester
2007-08) from the
