OBITUARY IN MEMORY OF PROFESSOR EMERITUS
COSTAS CAROUBALOS Professor
Costas Caroubalos passed away at home on December 4th; he was 93. A pioneer
solar radio astronomer, Costas was born in Patras in 1928. Still a boy, he
was active in the resistance against the Nazi occupation. He received his
degree in Physics in 1953, his MSc in electronics in 1955 and his PhD in
1963, from the University of Athens. Working in France (1960-1964), at the
space department of the Meudon observatory, he obtained his doctorat
d’état in 1964. Back to France in 1967, during the period of the
dictatorship in Greece, until he was elected professor of Electronics at the
University of Athens in 1975. Among his outstanding contributions are his
study of geophysical effects of solar energetic particles, the measurement of
directivity of burst emissions (project Stereo-I, with J.L Steinberg), the
discovery of N-bursts and the development of radio-spectrographs such as RSMN
in France and ARTEMIS in Greece. An excellent teacher, Costas educated
thousands of students in electronics, teaching well after his retirement. He
will be remembered not only for his achievements, but also for his ardent
devotion to research and teaching, his enthusiasm his humour, his
humanitarian qualities, and his gentle character. |

The untimely
demise of Dr John, M., Polygiannakis, on the 10th JUNE 2004, at the age of 37
has shocked his peers in the University of Athens. The departed, whom we all
knew, was a devoted, industrious and diligent researcher whose interests
ranged, from Solar Astronomy and Space Physics to the Self Organized Critical
Systems. The only position he ever occupied in the Academia was his brief
service as a University of Athens functionary; a post which he resigned in
order to dedicate his full energy to research. This, in addition to his
scientific contributions, marks him as a singular personality, an idealist,
focused on the pursuit of scientific knowledge rather than the pursuit of
position, rank or funded project. This is a tribute to his memory on behalf
of all those who have worked with him, and who have held him in the highest
esteem |
