Evangelia Kalligiannaki, Ph.D., is a collaborating researcher at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics, FORTH. She is currently the P.I. of the SISDECS project “SISDECS” funded by the 1st H.F.R.I. call for post-doctoral researchers. Evangelia obtained her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Crete (2007). Since then, she joined JICS / Oak Ridge National Lab & University of Delaware and the University of Southern California, USA, as a postdoctoral researcher. From 2016-2018 she held a researcher position at the Stochastic Numerics research group at KAUST, Saudi Arabia.
Her research lies in the interface of Applied and Computational Mathematics, Stochastic modeling and Uncertainty Quantification. She has contributed through modeling and computational methods in model reduction for high-dimensional multi-physics systems at multiple space and time scales, probabilistic forecasting in renewable energy, and high-frequency wave propagation.
