Mr. Theoharis is a Professor in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and has been serving in the same department since 1993. He received his doctorate (DPhil) from the University of Oxford in 1988 in the area of Graphics and Parallel Processing, his Master's (MSc) also from the University of Oxford in 1985 in Informatics, and his Bachelor's degree (BSc) from the University of London in 1984, also in Informatics. From 1987 to 1990, he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. During the period 1992-1993, he worked as a consultant at Andersen Consulting. His main research interests focus on the area of Visual Computing, specifically on shape descriptors, anthropometry (mainly face and body type recognition), and the reconstruction of (mainly archaeological) objects. He has been teaching Graphics courses since 1993 in Greece and abroad.

Georgios Papaioannou is an Associate Professor with expertise in Computer Graphics at the Department of Informatics at the Athens University of Economics and Business, where he has been based since 2006, and he is the head of the Computer Graphics Group. His research focuses on real-time graphics algorithms, photorealistic image synthesis, and the analysis and processing of 3D data. He received his degree from the Department of Informatics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in 1996 and a doctorate in computer graphics and pattern analysis from the same department in 2001. From 2002 to 2007, he collaborated with the Foundation of the Hellenic World as a software engineer in virtual reality systems. Since 1997, he has worked on many research and development projects and has served as the scientific director of a significant number of them, both at the National and European levels. Mr. Papaioannou has over 80 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, is a member of the international associations ACM, SIGGRAPH, and Eurographics, and participates in the program committee of many conferences in the field of computer graphics.

Nikos Platis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the University of the Peloponnese, specializing in "Graphics and Visualization." He holds a PhD in Informatics and a degree in Mathematics from the University of Athens, as well as an MSc in Information Technology from University College London. He has taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in graphics, visualization, programming, and multimedia. He also has extensive experience as a software engineer, having worked on both research and commercial projects. He has served as a member of the review committee for international conferences and as a reviewer for articles in international scientific journals in the areas of Graphics, Visualization, and Data Analysis, as well as an evaluator of proposals and certifier of research projects in related areas. He is the (co-)author of over 20 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings, as well as 3 educational textbooks.

Nikolas Patrikalakis is a Professor at the Kawasaki Chair of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the Department of Ocean Engineering.
He received his degree from the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens in 1977. In 1983, he completed his doctorate in Ocean Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
His rich professional experience includes the following positions: in 1974, he worked at the design office of the Hellenic Shipyards in Skaramagas. In 1976, he worked for the National Maritime Institute in Feltham, England. He was a researcher and assistant professor from 1977 to 1983 in the Department of Ocean Engineering at MIT. From 1983 to 1985, he was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, again in the Department of Ocean Engineering, and from 1985 to 1990, he was an Assistant Professor. Finally, from 1990 to 1995, he served as an Associate Professor in the same department at MIT.
With his team, they work for the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). His team creates ray-like robots that collect information to combat algae. "This lab was created for us with completely new equipment. This doesn't happen in Boston," the professor emphasized.
Throughout his career, he has received many honors and awards, among which we can highlight the following: 1972-77: Academic Excellence Award from the State Scholarships Foundation, 1972-77: Academic Excellence Award from the Technical Chamber of Greece, 1988-90: Doherty Chair Professor in Ocean Utilization, 1994-95: Computer Aided Design Referee Award, and 1996 to present: Kawasaki Chair Professor.
He is also a member of many organizations and institutions such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineering, Association for Computing Machinery, Computer Graphics Society, IEEE Computer Society, International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, etc.
