Effimia Angeli was born in Athens. She completed her BA studies at the Department of History and Archaeology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her MA studies, at the University of Nottingham (UK), focused on the Mediterranean Archaeology. Nowadays, she is a doctoral student of Archaeology at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University under the supervision of Dr. hab. Prof. Joanna Pyzel.
Her research interests focus on the Aegean Prehistory, including material culture, environmental archaeology, social interactions and networking. Her presentations at international conferences and her published papers so far are primarily connected with the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age in Greece. She has participated in several archaeological projects in Greece. She has worked at the Ephorates of Antiquities of Athens, Boeotia, and Euboea. She is a member of the CHELP (Cornell Halai and East Lokris Project) since 2016, where she is in charge with the study of the Neolithic pottery.
In 2022, she was also permitted to conduct the geoarchaeological study of the Neolithic settlement of Halai, for which she recently received a grant from the Association for Environmental Archaeology. She currently works (since 2021) as a field archaeologist in Northern Poland also enriching her research spectrum with the study of Polish archaeology.
