Dimitrios Emmanouloudis, Professor at Democritus University of Thrace, with long-standing academic and research experience in natural hazard management, hydrometeorological phenomena, and climate resilience. He has extensive expertise in the design, coordination, and scientific supervision of complex research and operational projects at both national and international levels.

Within the framework of Inachos, he holds the central role in the establishment and scientific coordination of the team, the overall design and strategic guidance of the project, as well as the review, verification, and final scientific approval of all development stages of the model. His contribution ensures methodological consistency, scientific validity, and strategic coherence of Inachos, from its theoretical conception to its operational implementation.

Christos-Marios Stathopoulos, PhD, holds a doctorate in Environmental Physics and Meteorology, with research activity in atmospheric modeling, numerical forecast evaluation, and the integration of observations into forecasting schemes. He has participated in academic research groups at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with applications in operational weather forecasting for Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean, and has contributed to scientific publications related to high-resolution regional models.

Within the framework of Inachos, he provides scientific support in the field of numerical rainfall forecasting, which constitutes the sole meteorological input of the system. His contribution focuses on the formulation, evaluation, and selection of reliable precipitation fields derived from regional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, tailored to the spatial and temporal requirements of Inachos.

Ioannis Kalathas, electrical engineer with a strong technical background in computational systems, networks, hardware infrastructures, and backend software development for research and operational applications. He holds postgraduate studies in Innovation in Technology and Entrepreneurship, with specialization in Smart Grids, Grid Computing, and telemetry, as well as training in advanced computational infrastructures at CERN.

Within the framework of Inachos, his contribution αφορά the technical and computational core of the system, including backend design and management, configuration and support of hardware and server infrastructures, and the implementation of critical technical processes that ensure the efficient, stable, and continuous operation of the model. His experience in high-demand computing centers, grid systems (HellasGrid, CERN WLCG), and embedded/hybrid systems is a key factor in transforming the scientific logic of Inachos into a reliable operational infrastructure.

Sotiria Anastasiou, PhD, with extensive scientific activity in the design, development, and application of mathematical models for complex natural and environmental systems. She has experience in translating theoretical formulations into computational implementations, integrating multiple modeling components, and applying statistical and numerical methods for data analysis and interpretation. Her work spans from research applications to operational and forecasting models, with emphasis on physical consistency, mathematical rigor, and result reliability.

Within the framework of Inachos, she is responsible for the calibration, verification, and scientific validation of the mathematical core of the model, as well as the design and implementation of the frontend, the website, and the accompanying code that transforms computational outputs into functional and comprehensible operational products. Her role ensures the coherent linkage between mathematical conception, computational implementation, and final operational deployment of Inachos.

Nancy Mavrogiorgou, PhD candidate with a scientific background in hydrological and hydraulic systems and a research focus on flood phenomena, with emphasis on data interpretation and utilization for forecasting applications.

Within the framework of Inachos, she was involved in the collection, organization, and quality control of the data required for the calibration of the stochastic core of the model, while also providing scientific advisory support in the setup and structuring of the modeling logic. Her contribution focused on bridging empirical knowledge from flood events and hydrological observations with the stochastic approach of Inachos, enhancing the realism and consistency of the forecasting framework.

Elissavet Feloni, PhD in Hydrology, with scientific involvement in the analysis of flood phenomena in urban and peri-urban environments. She has experience in studying runoff generation and flow concentration under conditions of intense urbanization, investigating the impact of land use and impervious surfaces on the hydrological cycle, and interpreting flood behavior in built-up areas. Her scientific work focuses on understanding the specific characteristics of urban flooding and their connection to broader water resources management issues.

Within the framework of Inachos, she provided scientific support on issues related to urban flooding and urban hydrology, contributing to the interpretation of flood response in built-up areas and to the consideration of urbanization factors within the system’s forecasting framework. Her contribution enhanced the completeness and thematic coverage of Inachos in areas with intense human activity, without involvement in the core modeling or computational implementation.

Olga Papantsiou, electrical engineer with postgraduate studies in Innovation in Technology and Entrepreneurship and MSc in Oil and Gas Technology. With many years of experience in the academic environment and an active role in the administrative and technical support of research projects. Her professional background includes systematic involvement in project coordination, management of technical workflows, and liaison between scientific teams and IT and operational support infrastructures.

Within the framework of Inachos, her contribution focuses on server maintenance and service restoration, providing first line technical support for the entire computational infrastructure. Her role includes system status monitoring, immediate response to technical failures, user support, and collaboration with the core technical team for the escalation and resolution of more complex issues. Her experience in managing academic projects and her understanding of both technical and organizational requirements make her contribution critical for the stable, reliable, and uninterrupted day-to-day operational functioning of Inachos.
