BIOGRAPHY

    Dimitrios Giataganas (BSc, MSc NTUA Greece 2004, MSc Imperial College UK 2005, PhD Durham University UK 2009) is an assistant professor in department of physics in NSYSU University. Prior to taking up his current post, Dimitrios has done his research on theoretical physics at several universities, including the University of Durham and the University of Oxford in UK, the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, the National Center for Theoretical Sciences in Tsing- Hua University in Taiwan and the University of Athens in Greece.

    Dimitrios has obtained a large number of awards and fellowships from external sources of funding, which total up to one million Euros. His research focuses on the understanding the states of matter that exist in extreme conditions in nature. This includes matter that has been created at the very first moments of the universe right after the big bang, matter that the exotic stars are made of, and matter that is currently created in the experiment of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. These are the conditions that the nature is probed at its finest and it is exactly where the mysteries of fundamental physics are.

    Dimitrios research also combines aspects of mathematics, theoretical physics and computer science relevant to the artificial intelligence. Dimitrios has been recently contributing to the current revolution of artificial intelligence and machine learning in relation to theoretical physics. This is an interdisciplinary research direction that could break new ground in theoretical physics.
