Dr. Evangelia Athanasaki, Deputy Director of European Infrastructures at GRNET, is poised to share her extensive expertise in developing quantum and high-performance computing infrastructures at the upcoming IQT The Hague conference.
Beginning her notable career in 2005, Dr. Athanasaki has played a pivotal role in managing and implementing several influential EU and national research projects. Her work encompasses various technological advancements, including Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI), high-performance network connectivity, and Cloud and Grid infrastructures. These are crucial for advancing Europe’s position in global technology arenas.
Educated at the National Technical University of Athens, she earned her Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering with high distinction. She then completed a PhD in Computer Architecture, focusing on Simultaneous Multithreading/Multicore Architecture.
At the conference, Dr. Athanasaki will participate in a panel discussion on “Quantum technology programs and testbeds: Europe and the EU,” where she will elucidate the strategic roles these technologies play in shaping Europe’s technological infrastructure and discuss the ongoing developments and prospects in quantum technology deployments across Europe, using GRNET as an example. Her insights will be invaluable for understanding the dynamics of regional and EU-wide collaborations in quantum technologies and high-performance computing.
