Maria A. Louka is an associate researcher of the
Section of Theoretical Informatics since 2006. Her current interests are in the
area of Numerical Linear Algebra and especially in the area of Iterative
methods for the numerical solution of large linear algebraic systems of
equations. Furthermore, she has occupied with the parallel numerical solution
of Partial Differential Equations and their implementation using distributed
parallel machines using MPI and GPUs. She is also
research assistant of the Parallel Scientific Computing Laboratory (PSCL), Department of Informatics,
