Dr. George Triantafyllou: Mathematician-Oceanographer, Modeller. George is a Research
Director at HCMR - Institute of Oceanography, and currently the Principal Investigator (PI) of
6 projects. He holds a PhD in Oceanography (1990) from the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki, after his MSc in Oceanography (1988) and BSc in Mathematics from the
National & Kapodistrian University of Athens.

He has been involved in many significant projects as Coordinator (CLAIM-H2020) and as PI
(indicatively, MFSPP, MFSTEP, AEGEAN, INSEA, MEECE, OPEC, SEAMAN, OSAQUA (active),
BRIDGE-BS (active), EMOD-PACE, GOLDEN SEAL (active), NECCTON (active), BlueAquaEdu
(active), INSPIRE (active)) in terms of budget, scientific soundness and products’ quality,
while he has been participated in numerous other International and National projects
(indicatively, SARONIKOS, AQUA-PLANNER, EUROCEANS, ECOOP, SARDONE, REPROdUCE,
ADAMANT(N), TAPAS-IO, CLIMAFISH, NAUTILOS (active))

His research interests include the development and implementation of numerical schemes
and management tools for coastal and oceanic marine areas through hydrodynamic –
ecological models, data assimilation and operational marine ecosystems modelling, marine
ecosystem management, marine pollutant models (oil spills and marine litter prediction and
prevention), nonlinear prediction, climate change, development, application of individual
based models (IBM) for small pelagic fish (anchovy and sardine), and aquaculture modelling.

He co-authored more than 100 scientific articles (in peer-reviewed journals and book
series), and his stockpile at HCMR further includes innovative and market-oriented products
