Vagelis Harmandaris
Vagelis Harmandaris is Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Crete, and affiliated researcher at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics, at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (IACM/FORTH). He is also Professor and ERA-Chair at “The Cyprus Institute” (CyI) in “Modelling and Simulation for Engineering Applications”. He got his diploma and PhD from the Chemical Engineering department in the University of Patras, Greece. Then, he was post-doctoral fellow and research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany. In 2009 he joined, as Assistant Professor, the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Crete, where he is now full Professor. Since 2010 he is also collaborating researcher in the “Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics”, Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas.
His research interests concern on the development of mathematical and computational multi-scale methodologies for complex molecular systems and materials of scientific and technological interest. He leads the group of “Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Complex Molecular Systems” (MACOMMS) at the University of Crete/FORTH, and the SimEA group at the CyI.
He has published more than 125 papers in refereed journals, 4 in books, more than 30 in refereed conference proceedings, and about 80 in non-refereed conference proceedings. He has given more than 150 (about 80 invited) presentations at international conferences and academic and industrial institutions. His h-index is 37 in Scopus and 42 in Google Scholar. He has been a Reviewer for a large number of International Journals, for the European Union, and for various institutions among which the National Science Foundation (USA), the EU HORIZON, the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF), the National Research Council of Romania, and the Greek General Secretariat for Research and Technology. He has also organized and co-organized about 30 International workshops and conferences.
