Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorgia Karapostoli is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the National Technical University of Athens with 11 years of experience bridging experimental particle physics research and software-enabled analysis. Her background spans doctoral work at CERN, research roles at Imperial College London and a postdoc at UC Riverside, where she developed expertise in Monte Carlo simulation workflows and data-taking-era configuration management. She contributes to the CMS genproductions repository, creating and automating generator cards and Pythia fragments—work that underpins reproducible MC production for major LHC datasets. Combining academic teaching, hands-on detector-scale software development, and a track record in implementing production-ready scripts, she brings both deep domain knowledge and practical engineering to complex physics problems.
