A Biologist and an Architect, Eftihis Efthimiou is holding an integrated Master's degree from the University of Ioannina and a Master of Architecture (M.Arch) from the Department of Architecture at the University of Thessaly. His research focuses on computational geometry, with particular emphasis on the application of systems thinking and complex systems theory to morphogenesis through autopoietic and algorithmic design systems.

The core of his scholarly work lies in the development of digital protocols, computational methodologies, and design tools for architectural design and digital fabrication, bridging fundamental research with applied practice and material realization. His work explores innovative design methodologies that investigate the interplay between form, material behavior, algorithmic logic, and fabrication processes.

He is a founding member of Decode Fab Lab, where he is actively involved in research and teaching in computational and algorithmic design, experimental form-finding, and robotic digital fabrication workflows. In parallel, he collaborates as a computational designer and architect with Deca.

He has taught under various titles (eg. as visiting lecturer, adjunct faculty, senior scientist) in architectural and computational design programs at academic institutions in Nicosia, Innsbruck, Thessaloniki, among others. His research interests span a broad range of design practices, including architecture, digital environments, and audiovisual and computational media.
