I am Theodoros Panagiotakopoulos, an experienced Ph.D. candidate in Computational Physics, with a deep specialization in modeling for Computational Lithography and Material Design. My work is driven by a passion for exploring the intersection of AI/ML for Modeling Engineering, Material Design, and Electrochemistry. Driven by a commitment to innovation and a proven track record of translating scientific concepts into Machine Learning problems, I am ready to be your trusted partner in advancing technological frontiers.
At the University of Central Florida, my Ph.D. research focuses on the cutting-edge approach of using Machine Learning to revolutionize nanotechnology and material science. I'm developing innovative Neural Network Potentials to accelerate Molecular Dynamics and Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. My expertise in Quantitative Analysis, Data Science, Computational Physics, and modeling, and advanced Neural Networks enable me to push the boundaries of these fields.
My passion for AI reaches beyond conventional applications. Throughout my Ph.D., I am driven to apply its potential to real-world challenges, especially environmental ones. I am currently exploring AI-driven approaches for designing catalysts that optimize CO₂ reduction and developing algorithms to reduce the computational cost of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. This dedication originates from my firm belief that technology can be a powerful tool for sustainability. By making these complex simulations more efficient, I aim to pave the way for faster discoveries in material science with a smaller environmental footprint.
In collaboration with the Department of Statistics, we are developing Graphical Neural Networks (GNNs), a cutting-edge AI tool aimed at transforming complex data into clear understanding. By using adaptable constraints, we can extract the most important information, simplifying the analysis process and highlighting key features for scientists and engineers in materials science, energy, and R&D. Utilizing GNNs enables us to understand data faster, make informed decisions, and design new, cutting-edge algorithms for simulation, ultimately conserving computational resources. Our goal is to apply this model in material design, significantly reducing the need for time-intensive simulations with limited atom numbers.
My comprehensive skill set includes quarantine analysis, Statistical Data Science, Computational Physics, Computational Modeling, Predictive Analytics, and extensive experience in Neural Networks, including Deep Learning and GANs. Adept at time series analysis and forecasting using AR, ARIMA, and deep learning techniques, I bring a multifaceted approach to problem-solving.
I hold a Master's degree from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where I specialized in Deep Learning and Data Analytics. My master's program focused on the application of these advanced techniques to the detection of supersymmetry and dark matter, providing a solid foundation for my current research endeavors in Computational Material Science.
Beyond my research pursuits, I have served as an accomplished Teaching Assistant at the University of Central Florida and at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. I take great pride in guiding and shaping the next generation of minds in both graduate and undergraduate courses.
As a Modeling Engineer and Computational Physicist I am uniquely positioned to contribute transformative solutions to organizations seeking to elevate their technological capabilities. Collaborate with me to pioneer advancements in AI and ML. Together, we can harness technology's boundless potential for a more innovative future.
