Maria Samarakou is professor at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens and Director of the Applied Informatics Laboratory. She holds a BSc in Physics (1977) and a PhD in Simulation and Optimization of Energy Systems (1986) from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
She was a researcher (1981-1982) at the Laboratoire d'Automatique et d' Analyse des Systemes (LAAS -Toulouse France) of Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). She has also two years (1979-1981) industrial experience, which she gained at the Research and Training Departments of the Hellenic Aerospace Industry, and she served as researcher at the Research Centers of Pratt & Whitney (USA) and MBB (Germany). She also serves as Research collaborator since 1982 at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
She has undertaken, since 1985, more than 20 National and European projects in research and technology development as coordinator/project manager or main researcher. She has published more than 60 papers in refereed scientific journal and proceedings of International and National congresses on topics in the field of simulation, optimization, expert systems, artificial intelligence and educational software. She has more than 40 citations in 35 scientific articles and she is Reviewer in various international scientific journals and congresses. Her research interests include the following scientific areas: Simulation of energy systems, Optimization of energy systems, Artificial intelligence, Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Interactive Educational Environments, Design and implementation of educational software. 
She is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), member of the Greek Society of Informatics, member of the Greek Union of Physics.
