Dr. Panagiotis Krokidas is a physicist and researcher at the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications of the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (NCSRD), Greece. His research lies at the interface of natural sciences, computational modelling, and Artificial Intelligence, with extensive experience in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and computationally demanding scientific applications. His work focuses on developing AI-driven approaches for accelerating scientific discovery and optimization, with particular emphasis on data-efficient learning and frugal AI. A central objective of his research is to enable more intelligent use of computational resources, reducing the time, energy, and computational cost required to solve complex scientific problems. Within the NOUS project, he leads Use Case 4, which demonstrates how AI-powered optimization can automate scientific simulation workflows, intelligently allocate computational effort, and accelerate the search for optimal solutions.
