Serafeim Michas is a research associate at the Technoeconomics of Energy Systems Laboratory (TEESlab) at the University of Piraeus (UNIPI). He holds a PhD in the exploratory assessment of adaptive pathways toward renewable energy systems from the School of Industrial Management and Technology of UNIPI, and a M.Sc. degree on Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
He has 8 years of research experience acquired through his participation in several European and national funded projects. His expertise is in the modeling of energy systems, the exploration of decarbonization pathways, the analysis of the socioeconomic implications of energy transitions, and decision support for the assessment of policy measures’ effectiveness under contextual uncertainties. Currently he is participating in the Life SRI2MARKET project, the POLIZERO project funded by the Swiss Federal Office for Energy (SFOE) and private projects providing consultancy and decision support to Greek public authorities..
He is the lead developer of the AIM model which perform exploratory and participatory assessments of policy and strategy pathways under deep uncertainty and the STREEM model which simulates at a high temporal resolution the operation of electricity storage systems and quantifies the storage capacity requirements of a region, towards maximization of renewable energy integration. His technical qualifications include knowledge of several programming languages (Python, C, C#), engineering software (SolidWorks), and modelling software (MATLAB, Unity3D).
So far, he has published 6 papers in peer-reviewed international scientific journals and more than 15 technical reports, he has been a guest editor in a book published in Springer’s climate series, and his work has been accepted for presentation in several international scientific conferences and events, including the European Climate & Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP), the EU Sustainable Energy Week and the Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems (SDEWES).
