Eleftherios Christofi was awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at the University of Crete. Thereafter, he completed his Masters degree in Applied Mathematics, working on “The Optimisation Algorithm in Machine Learning”. Currently, he is a Ph.D student at CyI, working on the developement of multi-scale simulation approaches for complex molecular systems via hybrid physics-based data-driven methods.

Sisem joined the group in September 2022 as a Graduate Research Assistant in the European Doctorate Program Enabling the next generation of computational physicists and engineers (ENGAGE). After graduating from Hacettepe University, Department of Chemistry, she received an MSc degree in biochemistry on chromatographic techniques and quantum chemical calculations of biomolecules. She is currently working on molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules and theoretical calculations of biomaterials.

Ali A. Youssef is a structural engineering specialist. He earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the faculty of engineering at Shahed University-Tehran. He received his master's degree in civil engineering-structural engineering from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's faculty of engineering, and his graduation project was titled: The Toughness and Durability of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Made with Magnetic Water. He is about to defend his doctoral thesis from Ferdowsi University, which is titled "Experimental and analytical investigation of the performance of self-centering hybrid coupled shear wall system equipped with TADAS displacement-control steel dampers under quasi-static cyclic loading". He is currently a visiting student at the Cyprus Institute, where he is investigating the local mechanical properties of graphene/polymer nano-composites using molecular dynamics simulation.
