These are all photos of me, recently taken by photographers from newspapers and magazines, who gave me permission to post them. I also added pictures of my private collection, that have been used in the media. Remember that you may only use them if you ask permission (though some are free). You can drop me a line for the contact details of the photographers. I’ll keep updating this page when there are more photos available.

ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROBLEMS IN PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMY: ENGLISH ONLINE TUTOR VIEW
Practically speaking, national languages are today confined mostly inside national boundaries. As long as scholars find it appealing to write in journals written in English, the linguistic center of gravity will remain anglophone. In astronomy, The Astrophysical Journal and The Astronomical Journal are indisputably the most prominent astronomical research publications, whilst Nature and Science are reserved for showpiece papers from all fields. Astronomers, like their peers in other fields, are required to learn to write and speak English if they want their work to be recognized internationally. Therefore, for a more in-depth study of the language, you can study with an English online tutor. On the Internet you can find many educational platforms, one of which is LiveXP.
