About Me

My full name is Chrysovalantou Kalaitzidou and I am a graduate student in Bioinformatics M.Sc. Program, at the University of Crete (UoC) . Currently, I am working on my thesis whose main theme is Modeling and simulation of deformation localization in Fibrous Extracellular Matrix induced by Contractile Fibroblasts. I have the privilege of working with Prof. Phoebus Rosakis and his team on this fascinating project. I hold a B.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics, from School of Sciences and Engineering of the same institution. You can consult my short resume online, or view a detailed version in PDF format which is available for preview or download. Please feel free to contact me.

Client Testimonials

  • - You know, I don't think math is a science. I think it's a religion.
    - A religion??
    - Yeah! All these equations are like miracles. You take two numbers and when you add them, they magically become one NEW number! No one can say how it happens.
    You either believe it or you don't.
