Anastasia Anastasiou was born in Agrinio, Greece in 1995. She holds a Diploma of Rural and Survey Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens. The subject of her thesis was the Paleochristian church of St. Spyridon in the Medieval Town of Rhodes and more specifically the geometric documentation of the church for the creation of a three-dimensional photorealistic digital model, a video of the 3D model, as well as an interactive tour, using the 3DHOP platform. She is currently in the first year of attendance at a two-year master’s degree programme entitled “Protection of Monuments” at the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens.

She is currently involved in the EU project “Hyperion: Development of a Decision Support System for Improved Resilience & Sustainable Reconstruction of Historic Areas to cope with Climate Change & Extreme Events based on Novel Sensors and Modeling Tools” as a researcher with the object of the geometric documentation of monuments.

She has experience in the field of geometric documentation of monuments, using both geodetic and photogrammetric techniques. More specifically, she has volunteered as an on-site survey engineer at Tenea Project, the excavation project of ancient Tenea taking place in Chiliomodi, Corinth for three consecutive years (September and October 2018-2020). Her duties involved the geometric documentation of the findings of the excavation, as well as the different layers of each section, through the production of 3D models and orthophotographs.

Her technical skills involve laser scanner processing and management software (FARO SCENE), photogrammetry and 3D reconstruction software (including Agisoft Metashape, 3D Systems Geomagic Wrap, Autodesk 3DS Max and PHOTOMOD), CAD software (Autodesk Autocad Map, Autodesk Autocad Raster Design), image and video processing (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, GIMP), GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) and MATLAB and Java programming language. Moreover she is proficient in TheoLt software which has been used in many of the aforementioned instances of geometric documentation projects, in order to facilitate geodetic measurements. She is fluent in English, French and Spanish.
