Joseph Sifakis is CNRS researcher and the Founder of Verimag laboratory (http://www-verimag.imag.fr/), in Grenoble, France. He studied Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Athens and Computer Science at the University of Grenoble. Joseph Sifakis is recognized for his pioneering work on both theoretical and practical aspects of Concurrent Systems Specification and Verification. He contributed to emergence of the area of model-checking, currently the most widely-used method for the verification of industrial applications. His current research activities include component-based design, modeling, and analysis of real-time systems with focus on correct-by-construction techniques

I have a Persian professor here in the states. I was having a discussion with him and he pointed out to me how difficult schools in Greece are becoming. He also said that Greece is producing a tremendous amount of scientists and brilliant minds.

It's good to see Greek is producing good sicentists actually benefiting man kind. Unlike in Serbia where the two biggest scientists are among the top geneticists in Europe (who use fetus embryos).

Serbia gave Nikola Tesla to the world... that is monumental... mankind has benefited immensely from this genius.

Serbia gave Nikola Tesla to the world... that is monumental... mankind has benefited immensely from this genius. Then there's also Mihailo Pupin, Ogneslav Kostovich Stepanovich (promionent in making of plastics) and Milutin Milankovic (global warming based largely on his theories) I'm talking in the sense of in modern times. The top Serbian scientists in modern times are involved in immoral science. I believe one of the two is lobbying the government to change the laws so that he can do research for which he couldn't get public funding for uin Germany.

Dont forget that Einstein's wife was serbian And she achieved nothing. Her role in Einsteins work is questionable.

Role in physics Annus Mirabilis Papers The extent of Mileva's contributions to Einstein's Annus Mirabilis Papers is controversial. According to Evan Harris Walker, a physicist, the basic ideas for relativity came from Mileva [6]. Senta Troemel-Ploetz, a German linguist, says that the ideas may have been Albert's, but Mileva did the mathematics. Neither of these claims are likely.[7][8] On the other hand, John Stachel, keeper of Albert's letters, says that Mileva was little more than a sounding board. The case for Mileva as co-genius mostly depends on letters in which Albert referred to "our" theory and "our" work and on a divorce agreement in which Albert promised her his Nobel Prize money. He gave the money to Mileva but he did not publicly acknowledge any putative scientific involvement by her in his work. Mileva used the award money to support their sons. Based on newly released letters (sealed by Albert's stepdaughter Margot Einstein until 20 years after her death), Walter Isaacson (Time 168(3):50-55, July 17, 2006) reported that Mileva invested Albert's Nobel Prize money in three apartment buildings in Zurich. The contention that the Soviet scientist Abraham Joffe claimed to have seen the original manuscripts of Einstein’s 1905 papers is not borne out by an examination of the passage in question, in which he clearly attributes them to a single author. Joffe identifies Einstein as Einstein-Marity, the name by which he presumed Einstein was officially known in Switzerland at that time. This is clearly a single name, not two separate names, and there is no justification for stating that Joffe claimed the articles were co-authored, as Martinez shows:[2] John Stachel comprehensively refutes the claims about Joffe in the editorial Introduction to Einstein’s Miraculous Year: Five Papers that Changed the Face of Physics (2005), pp. liv-lxxii. There are no strong arguments to support the idea that Mileva helped Einstein to develop his theories. Other Nobel winners, beside Einstein, have shared their prize money with their ex-wives as a part of the divorce settlements. When Einstein's surviving son was asked about his own mother's scientific contribution to the Theory of Special Relativity he couldn’t recall any. Albert remained an extremely fruitful scientist for the rest of his life, producing works of importance long after divorcing Mileva. She, on the other hand, never published any significant work and was never mentioned, including by any of hers or Albert’s acquaintances, as having contributed any ideas to Einstein's work. Mileva never claimed that she took any important part in the scientific work attributed to Albert .[9] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mileva_Mari%C4%87#Role_in_physics
