Giannis Stergou is a dedicated physicist and aspiring researcher with a strong academic foundation and growing experience in computational physics. He earned his B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Crete in 2024 with a grade of 7.70/10, building a solid background in quantum mechanics and mathematics. His thesis, titled "Dynamics of qubit chains coupled to non-Markovian reservoirs," led to a peer-reviewed publication in Physica Scripta (2023) and reflects his early engagement with quantum systems and computational modeling. Currently, Giannis is a Simulation Team Member at the Laboratory for Biophotonics and Molecular Imaging (LBMI) at FORTH, contributing to the SWOPT project. His work involves adapting WaveSim—a light-propagation solver—for acoustic wave simulations, requiring deep understanding of wave physics, algorithmic modifications, and proficiency in MATLAB and Python. Through this role, he has gained hands-on experience with wave propagation simulations and collaborative software development. Giannis is skilled in Python, MATLAB, and has strong knowledge of differential equations, linear algebra, and quantum mechanics. Motivated by solving physics problems through computation, he is steadily expanding his expertise toward computational research in optics, acoustics, and quantum systems.
