Dr. Nick Eleftheroglou - Head of iSP Group
Dr. Nick Eleftheroglou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials within the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology. He is also the founder and head of the iSP Group, which he established in March 2022. He received his Diploma in Mechanical and Aeronautics Engineering cum laude from the University of Patras, Greece, in 2015, and earned his PhD cum laude from TU Delft in October 2020.
Thanos Kontogiannis - MSc Mechanical Engineering
Thanos Kontogiannis is a PhD candidate at the Aerospace Engineering Faculty in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials and a member of the iSP group and PYTHIA team. He holds a mechanical engineering diploma with an integrated MSc in Applied Mechanics. His research and interests focus on bridging the gap between data science and artificial intelligence with engineering systems, monitoring and controlling them to manage their health and performance during deployment. He believes in preventative actions facilitated through prognostics rather than reactive ones to the already manifested issues.
Hint: Don’t get him started talking about coffee or motorcycles; he won’t stop.
Mariana Salinas Camus - MSc Electrical Engineering
Mariana Salinas-Camus is a PhD candidate in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty, within the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials, and a member of the iSP group.
