About me
Welcome to my website!
From an early age, I remember being passionate about programming, solving computer hardware problems, and engaging with every electrical appliance that came my way. This passion drove me to study electrical and computer engineering. Since then, everything has fallen into place. I am currently a Research Assistant at the Sustainable Power System Lab of Cyprus University of Technology and a PhD candidate.
On my website, I regularly share content that I find useful throughout my learning journey. My blog covers topics such as Power, Programming, Automations, Arduino, Mathematics, and other related subjects. I aim to keep my weekly working calendar in an article style to provide consistent and valuable insights.

Skills
My Experience
06/2024 - Present
Cyprus University of Technology
Sustainable Power System Lab
tEACHING assistant
I am serving as a Teaching Assistant for the undergraduate course EEN445 – Renewable Energy Sources at the Cyprus University of Technology. My main responsibilities include supervising the laboratory sessions, where students engage in techno-economic modeling of photovoltaic systems using the System Advisor Model (SAM) software. In addition to simulation-based work, we conduct hands-on training using the SOLARTRAINER and WINDTRAINER lab equipment developed by JKS, which simulate real-world photovoltaic and wind energy systems respectively. These interactive setups allow students to understand the operation, control, and performance analysis of renewable energy systems through practical experiments and measurements, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and field applications.

Sustainable Power System Lab
Part time RESEARCHER
Developed a Python-based framework to automate Dynawo dynamic simulations on the French transmission network (RTE), systematically evaluating execution time and CPU usage to assess the feasibility of deploying real-time simulation tools for operator training under realistic contingency scenarios.

Electricity Authority of Cyprus
DENSE – Dependable Smart Energy Systems – Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network
MSCA Ph.D. Student – Doctoral Candidate
As an MSCA Ph.D. Researcher under the DENSE (Dependable Smart Energy Systems) project, my research focuses on optimizing the operation of electric vehicles and heat pumps within active distribution networks. This industrial Ph.D. is conducted in close collaboration with Cyprus University of Technology and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), bridging the gap between academic research and practical application in the energy sector. DENSE is a 4-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions-Doctoral Network (HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-DN) funded within the framework of the HORIZON EUROPE Programme. It brings together 10 partners from applied research, academia and industry in 6 different countries with the aim of implementing 12 doctoral research projects. https://www.dense-dn.eu/
06/2023 - 05/2024
Cyprus University of Technology
Sustainable Power Systems Laboratory
Researcher
Project 1: In collaboration with the TSO and DSO of Cyprus, we focus on developing technical requirements for integrating Energy Storage Systems (ESS) into the power grid. Additionally, we define technical standards for grid-forming inverters to maintain grid stability, ensuring they can operate independently and support key grid functions such as voltage and frequency regulation.
Project 2: I was involved in a project focusing on operating marginal policy for frequency reserves in Cyprus's power system. The main responsibilities were dimensioning necessary inertia, FFR, FCR, FRR, and RR reserves, which are different products of frequency control that must be considered during the scheduling of a power system's day-ahead operation.
10/2022 - 02/2023

Internship
I have dealt with the field of network extension studies, electrical supply installation and licensing of photovoltaic installations in residential and commercial buildings.
08/2022 - 09/2022
LDK
Junior Engineer
My responsibilities were in the field of energy audits and renewable energy projects.
07/2020 - 09/2020
