Evanthia Kallou

Research Engineer II
Advanced Methods Division

Dr. Evanthia Kallou is a Research Engineer II at the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a member of ASDL’s Advanced Methods division. Dr. Kallou’s primary areas of research include the development and application of system of systems architectures, optimization & design processes of engineering systems and stochastic process simulation. Currently, she is also working on the application of model-based methods and uncertainy quantification and propagation in support of multidisciplinary aircraft analysis.

  • Doctor of Philosophy, Aerospace Engineering, 2023, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA - USA
  • Master of Science, Aerospace Engineering, 2019, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA - USA
  • Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering, 2015, University of Thessaly, Volos, Thessaly - Greece

Dr. Kallou currently works on the following research projects:

  • model-based systems engineering for exploring design spaces for commercial airline designs,
  • predictive modeling for engine maintenance, repair and operations,
  • cost estimation for aircraft component manufacturing and machine learning,
  • exploration of future approaches for zero-emissions aviation at the fleet level.

Dr. Kallou past research projects include:

  • multi-level design space exploration for model-based commercial airline designs,
  • identification of critical uncertainties in aerospace system design through simulation and propagation,
  • parametric uncertainty assessment for CO2 and Noise stringency options for commercial aviation,
