University of Thessaloniki, awarded with the prize “Paolo Φαρινέλα” for 2016.
The Τσιγάνης was awarded for his studies on the dynamics of the solar system and other planetary systems, and especially for his contribution to the development of the “Model of Nice”, which relates to the development of the πρωίμου solar system. This study was the period that he was still a postdoctoral researcher.

During the honor event, the Greek scientist gave a speech with the theme “Chaos in the Asteroid Belt”.
The annual award was established in 2010 in memory of the Italian scientist Paolo Φαρινέλα (1953-2000) and each year honors a prominent researcher to 47 years of age.
