Developed C-based Phobos eclipse predictor for Beagle 2 (Christou, 2002); least square type estimator of the lander's position using lander-acquired timings of the eclipses as the input observables; C-based online CGI script furnishing rise/set times and azimuth/elevation information of some prominent celestial bo dies as viewed from the martian surface (accessible at http://www.arm.ac.uk/aac/mars/SkyCalculator2.html.) Mutual eclipses and o ccultation generator for the classical satellites of any of the giant planets; used to predict the upcoming mutual eclipses and o ccultations of the uranian satellites between 2006 and 2010 (Christou, 2005c), available in ASCII format at http://www.arm.ac.uk/aac/uranus.

Computing Experience
Extensive programming experience in IDL, Mathematica, Fortran and C. Working knowledge of html. Some experience with GAIA image analysis package.

Observations/data reduction
Galilean satellite mutual events campaign lightcurve reduction. Continuous meteor monitoring with on-site CCD video camera cluster. Astrometry and photometry of NEOs using the Faulkes 2m telescope

Teaching Experience and Student Supervision
· I have supervised the following PhD students, all of which obtained their degree: ­ Jonathan McAuliffe (finished 2006, now BepiColombo Liaison Scientist for Remote Sensing at ESAC, Madrid), ­ Prakash Atreya (finished 2009, now Telescope System Specialist at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico), and ­ Tobias Hinse (finished 2010, now a Research Fellow at the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute, Daejeon, Republic of Korea). · I have served as external examiner for the viva examination of Ms Angela Flynn (QMUL; 2005) and Ms Elizabeth Herrera Succarat (UniS; 2013). · Since 2001 I have supervised a number of summer students on work experience pro jects funded under the IAESTE and Nuffield Foundation Sentinus schemes (typical placement duration: 1-2 months). In 2012 I carried out a three-month perio d of supervision of Mlle Aurelie Houdart (U. Namur, Belgium) on her MSc dissertation pro ject on co-orbital mo ons. · As a PhD student at QMUL I underto ok several semesters in coursework marking. As a PDRA at QMUL and UniS I participated in exercise classes and prepared course exam questions.

· In 2010 I prepared and delivered a two-part seminar on co-orbital dynamics in the solar system at a workshop organised in the SSC in UniS under the AstroNet FP7 pro ject.

Evidence of Esteem
· Asteroid 9084 Achristou is named after me. · I regularly act as reviewer for trophysics, Monthly Notices of Research, Geophysical Research of Excellence in Reviewing" by papers submitted to Science, Icarus, Astronomy & Asthe Royal Astronomical Society, Journal of Geophysical Letters and others. In 2014, I was awarded a "Certificate the Editorial Board of Icarus.

· I have reviewed several grant applications to PPARC and STFC (the UK's Astronomy Grant Awarding Agency), applications to the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), a Canadian Discovery Grant proposal and a NASA Outer Planets Research Program proposal. I have also served an an external assessor of a Professorship nominee overseas. · I have been Co-Investigator on the D-CIXS X-Ray spectrometer on ESA's SMART-1 mission and the Environmental Sensor Suite (ESS) on the UK's Beagle 2. I am currently a member of the science team for Marco Polo R, a Medium Class mission proposal to ESA. · I have organised and chaired sessions at the UK National Astronomy Meeting (Dublin, 2003), the annual meeting of the American Astronomical So ciety's Division for Dynamical Astronomy (Halifax, Canada, 2006) and the once-every-three year Meteoroids conference (Barcelona, Spain, 2007). Under the NA1 activity of the FP7 Europlanet pro ject, I organised a series of 7 Strategic Meteor Workshops in various European institutions. · I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical So ciety, a full Member of the American Astronomical So ciety, Division for Planetary Sciences and the Division for Dynamical Astronomy, a Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of the International Astronomical Union Commission 7: Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy.
