SHORT CV

Dr. Athanasios D. Karlis (born in 1967) received his Dipl.-Eng. and PhD degrees from the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1991and 1996 respectively. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, where he serves as Deputy Head of the same Department (from 2017) and Director of the Electrical Machines Laboratory. His research interests are in electrical machines and drives, renewable energies and power production from small hydro, wind energy conversion and photovoltaics power systems. As visiting researcher he visited the Helsinki University of Technology, the Centre for Rapid Transit Systems in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Since 2000 he is Member of IEEE and since 2012 Senior Member. He was Chair of the Local Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM 2018), which was held in Alexandroupoli in 2018. He is also member of the Hellenic Institute of Electric Vehicles (HEL.I.E.V.). In 2015 he received the IEEE Outstanding Branch Chapter Advisor Award for IEEE Region 8 and in 2016 the Outstanding Student Branch Chapter Advisor Award for IEEE Industry Applications Society.
