His scientific interests include Neutron Stars (Pulsars), Neutral Hydrogen modeling in nearby galaxies, the Centre of our Galaxy, Flare Stars, Lunar Transient Phenomena and Archaeoastronomy. He has published more that 74 scientific papers in refereed journals, and more than 80 papers in conference proceedings and special volumes as well as three University-level Textbooks. He has also represented Greece in large European networks (OPTICON, ILIAS, CRAF, etc). In December 2005, the highest EU prize Descartes was awarded to the Neutron Stars research network, “PULSE”, in which he is a one of the founding members. He was member of the Hellenic Physical Society, the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), as well as a Founding Member of the European Astronomical Society. https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γιάννης_Χ._Σειραδάκης https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hugh_Seiradakis
