Ms. Christina-Kalliopi Chatzimichail | Cost Evaluation | Best Researcher Award

Ms. Christina-Kalliopi Chatzimichail | Aristotle University of Thessaloniki | Greece

Ms. Christina-Kalliopi Chatzimichail has established herself as a distinguished researcher through her significant contributions to applied mathematics, healthcare modeling, and environmental sustainability. Her 2024 publication, “Cost Evaluation for Capacity Planning Based on Patients’ Pathways via Semi-Markov Reward Modelling” in Mathematics (MDPI), presents a sophisticated quantitative framework for optimizing healthcare resource allocation. By applying Semi-Markov reward modeling, the study rigorously analyzes patient pathways, enabling more accurate capacity planning and cost evaluation, which is crucial for improving operational efficiency in healthcare systems. This work reflects her proficiency in advanced mathematical modeling, stochastic processes, and systems analysis, with practical implications for hospital management and policy planning. In addition, her 2023 research, “Measures and Policies for Reducing PM Exceedances through the Use of Air Quality Modeling: The Case of Thessaloniki, Greece” published in Sustainability (MDPI), demonstrates her interdisciplinary approach by integrating environmental modeling with policy evaluation. This study provides evidence-based insights into reducing particulate matter exceedances through effective regulatory measures, highlighting her commitment to addressing pressing societal challenges. Collectively, these publications illustrate Ms. Chatzimichail’s ability to combine theoretical rigor with practical applications, spanning healthcare optimization and environmental management. Her research reflects innovation, analytical depth, and a strong societal impact, marking her as a highly suitable candidate for the Best Researcher Award and demonstrating her potential to influence both academic scholarship and real-world policy decisions.
