Untitled[edit]

She is listed by the Perimeter institute as a full time faculty member.

She's co-published several papers with Lee Smolin or Carl Ravolli

This sounds a little bit aggrandizing and possibly inflated. Is it really true that someone who got their PhD a mere five years ago, and who has under 1000 google hits, has made contributions to theoretical physics even remotely comparable to Cantor's contributions to mathematics? --Delirium 11:02, Nov 18, 2003 (UTC)

Oh, I don't suppose so. I merely toned it down.

Markopoulou-Kalamara does not appear to be, by any stretch of the imagination, a famous physicist. According to the article itself, she does not have a regular faculty position. MathSciNet turns up 9 publications over 7 years, respectable but not extraordinary. It also turns up only two citations of her work (excluding self-cites). The overall picture I get is that she is a real physicist, but not a blazing star across the firmament of modern physics. In short, I vote for deletion.

She has appeared in Scientific American with very positive comments. I have read many news reports about her (in Greek mostly, some in English). I have all of her scientific papers, or at least all of them that published before summer 2003. Just now discovered that Wikipedia has an article on her. If I remember correctly she works at Canada now and she has graduated from Imperial College. She is a new physicist. Her father was a sculptor. I don't know whether her theories are correct. I added the article in my watchlist so I will keep an eye on it and I will try to improve it and check it for NPOVness. Optim 04:02, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I've been following her work for years, and I'm impressed with its novelty and clarity. The paper I'm reading at the moment intersects with another area (Wen's string-net condensates) that I'd been following for independent reasons. The text could use a bit of toning down, but the article should definitely be kept. (Insert remark on patent clerks here -- but she also has the credentials one might expect for a serious and ground-breaking thinker in fundamental physics.) As of 2011, her publication record is far beyond what it was in 2003.86.173.45.153 (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
