Dimitris is working as a Research Associate at Technoeconomics of Energy Systems laboratory (TEESlab) of the University of Piraeus (UNIPI), participating in EC funded projects. He is currently participating the EC-funded project RENOVERTY. His research profile focuses mainly on energy poverty, energy efficiency and energy transition issues, as well as on Building Energy Simulation (BES), energy demand and management modelling.
Dimitris holds a Bachelor (B.Sc.) and a Master (M.Sc.) degree in Mechanical Engineering, with specialization in Energy Engineering, from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He also holds a second M.Sc. degree in “Power Generation and Administration”, from the NTUA.
His working experience in EC funded projects includes the SENTINEL project, where he participated conducting studies that were focused on the investigation of energy transition aspects in the building sector, as well as the ENPOR and ENSMOV projects, in which he focused on exploring aspects of energy poverty and the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive, respectively.
He is currently involved in applying and further developing the in-house Dynamic high-Resolution dEmand-sidE Management (DREEM) model through the exploration of various energy efficiency, energy poverty, and energy transition applications.
So far, his research work has led to a published scientific article in peer-reviewed journal entitled “How to improve energy efficiency policies to address energy poverty? Literature and stakeholder insights for private rented housing in Europe” and to technical reports in the context of several EC-funded projects (e.g., SENTINEL, ENPOR, etc.).
He has participated in international scientific/policy conferences in topics of energy transition, energy poverty and energy systems modelling such as the International Conference on Energy Research and Social Science, European Climate & Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP), the EU Energy Sustainable Week and the Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems (SDEWES).
