Dr. Georgios N. Lygidakis, Aircraft Engineer, Production & Management Engineer, received his first Diploma Degree in Aircraft Engineering (2002) from the Hellenic Air Force Academy (HAFA), Engineering Department. Additionally, he holds a Diploma Degree in Production Engineering & Management (2009), an M.Sc. Degree (2005) and a Ph.D. Degree (2015) from the School of Production Engineering & Management, Technical University of Crete, Greece. He has participated as a Research Assistant/Research Associate in 12 R&D Projects, whereas he has co-authored 12 Journal and 32 Conference papers. His research work is focused in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat Transfer. He is a Member of AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics).

Dr. Kallirroi Porfyri currently works as a Research Associate with the Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT), Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), since September 2017. She received her Diploma Degree in Production Engineering & Management and her M.Sc. Degree in Manufacturing Systems from the Technical University of Crete (TUC), Chania, Greece, in October of 2010 and November 2012, respectively. Between 2013 and 2019 she worked for her Ph.D. Thesis at the School of Production Engineering & Management, TUC, (Ph.D. Thesis title: “Macroscopic Traffic flow modelling in the Presence of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems”). From 2012 to 2017 she worked as a Research Assistant with the Dynamic Systems & Simulation Laboratory (DSSL), TUC, Chania, Greece, for the TRAMAN21 ERC project, which awarded with the IEEE ITS Society Outstanding Application Award for 2018. Her main research interests are focused on traffic flow theory, traffic models calibration, road traffic management, microscopic traffic simulation, macroscopic traffic simulation, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), as well as on connected and automated driving (CAD). She has several publications in International Conferences and Scientific Journals.

Dimitrios P. Angelopoulos graduated from the School of Production Engineering & Management, Technical University of Crete, in 2014. He has been also awarded an MSc Degree  in "Manufacturing Systems" from the same School, in 2019. His research interests are in “Computational Engineering” and “Computational Fluid Dynamics”.
