Kouveliotou recounts her childhood in Greece and her early interests in physics. She describes her studies and political interests as an undergraduate at the National University of Athens. Kouveliotou explains her work at the University of Sussex where she pursued research in optical astronomy. She recounts her work in extraterrestrial physics at the Max Planck Institute and she describes the origins of gamma ray astronomy. Kouveliotou discusses her cultural introduction to the United States and her work at the Goddard Space Flight Center where she studied gamma ray bursts for her graduate thesis. Kouveliotou explains her academic work in Greece after her graduate studies and her research at the Institute for Space Physics, Astronomy and Education where she worked with data from the BATSE project and continued research on gamma ray bursts. She explains her move to NASA headquarters and her current work as a faculty member at GW. In the last portion of the interview Kouveliotou explains her long-term work in the field of magnetars.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row"><div class="node node--type-oral-history-transcript node--view-mode-teaser ds-2col clearfix"> <div class="group-left"> <div class="field field--name-field-if-no-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/4647" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/160_wide/public/2022-01/esva-image-not-available.jpg?itok=ozTxhMyL" width="150" height="220" alt="Image not available" class="image-style-_60-wide" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="group-right"> <div class="field field--name-node-title field--type-ds field--label-hidden field__item"><h3> <a href="/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/4647" hreflang="en">Frederick W.
