Talk:Fotini Markopoulou-Kalamara

Untitled

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)
