Research is articulated in 3 workpackages: Shape processing and geometric computing, Shape optimization and isogeometry, and Machine learning of shapes, including geometric deep learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:17%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"grapes-network.eu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"339\" height=\"327\" src=\"http:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GRAPES2-crop.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GRAPES2-crop.png 339w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GRAPES2-crop-300x289.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d7dee0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/fin-ai.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FinAI<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fintech and Artificial Intelligence in Finance<\/strong><br>Cost Network. 2020 &#8212; 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Project investigates AI and Fintech with respect to: Transparency, Black Box Decision-Support Models in the Financial industry, and Investment Product Performance for clients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"grapes-network.eu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"977\" src=\"http:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-1024x977.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-1024x977.png 1024w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-300x286.png 300w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-768x732.png 768w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-1536x1465.png 1536w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo-897x855.png 897w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fin-logo.png 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d7dee0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:67%\">\n<h3>National Research Infrastructures on Integrated Structural Biology, Drug Screening, and Drug Target functional characterisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EPAnEK 2014-2020 Operational Programme: Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship, Innovation<br>Jan. 2019 &#8212; Dec. 2021.<br><br>INSPIRED aims to address the needs of the scientific community in Structural Biology and the broader Biosciences, aiming at the identification and study of new biomolecules and bioactive compounds and their Pharmacological evaluation.

Geometry is now a critical tool in a large number of key applications; somewhat surprisingly, however, several approaches of the CAD industry are outdated, and 3D geometry processing is becoming increasingly the weak link. This is alarming in sectors where CAD faces new challenges arising from fast point acquisition, big data, and mobile computing, but also in robotics, simulation, animation, fabrication and manufacturing where CAD strives to address crucial societal and market needs. The challenge taken up by ARCADES is to invert the trend of CAD industry lagging behind mathematical breakthroughs and to build the next generation of CAD software based on strong foundations from algebraic geometry, differential geometry, scientific computing, and algorithm design. Our game-changing methods lead to real-time modelers for architectural geometry and visualisation, to isogeometric and design-through-analysis software for shape optimisation, and marine design &amp; hydrodynamics, and to tools for motion design, robot kinematics, path planning, and control of machining tools.

The first is geometric modeling, where we have extensive experience and expect to obtain tangible and practical results, based on effective, publicly available implementations.

Engineer: Artemis Maglara. Collaboration with Instituto de Automatica Industrial (Madrid), INRIA (Sophia-Antipolis), Institute of Computer Science (FORTH, Heraklio). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of the project is to study and design a robotic platform for the rehabilitation of patients with kinetic problems and with posible remote control capabilities. For this purpose the kinematics of the foot are extensively studied and useful results are extracted such as the foot axes of rotaion, workspace, velocities, accelerations and forces that must be handled by a robotic device. Identification \/ calibration techniques are also studied in order to compute the specific kinematics parameters of the patient&#8217;s foot. A new hybrid parallel \/ serial robotic platform is proposed and its parametric design is carried out in order to follow the foot movemets. Ancillary algebraic and numeric algorithms are developed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:27%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tripod.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92\" width=\"282\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tripod.jpg 406w, https:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tripod-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d7dee0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:79%\">\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/acs.cs.rug.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACS<\/a>: Algorithms for Complex Shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IST-STREP (Open FET) FP6 project (greek\/english&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/erga.di.uoa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ACSsummary.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" target=\"_blank\">summary<\/a>) 1\/5\/05-30\/4\/08.
