Stamatia Tourna

Stamatia is very excited to take part in the Summer of HPC, regarding her selection for the programme as being among her proudest accomplishments. Her project, entitled “Timeline profiling and visualisation in Python”, will be based in Edinburgh. From the project, she hopes to gain experience and have the opportunity to work hard and improve her skills. She is especially excited to work in Edinburgh as she has many friends in the city.

She is currently studying Computer Engineering and Informatics at the University of Patras, a university that boasts the largest campus in all of Greece, and aims to go on to further study. She prides herself on having learned more about her subject than was strictly required and considers the day she was accepted onto her course at university to be the happiest of her life.

Besides hard working, she describes herself as cheerful and social and has interests outside of academia that include singing and dancing. She is particularly fond of R’n’B music and the bands Depeche Mode, the Beatles and Muse.
