Summary
Ioannis Tsoukalas is an Assistant Professor and hydraulic engineer specializing in flood protection and hydroinformatics, combining academic leadership at Democritus University of Thrace with ongoing research roles at NTUA and ICCS. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering focused on non-Gaussian stochastic processes and optimization of water systems under uncertainty, and has translated that theory into practice across more than 20 national and European projects. His work centers on statistical/stochastic modeling of hydrometeorological processes and surrogate-based, machine-learning–inspired multi-objective optimization for decision making under uncertainty. Author of 32 peer-reviewed journal papers including outlets such as Water Resources Research and Journal of Hydrology, he bridges large-scale weather data analysis with practical flood-risk solutions. Notably, his background spans both rigorous stochastic theory and hands-on flood protection design, enabling innovations that scale from algorithmic simulations to infrastructure planning. Based in Athens, he brings eight years of focused research experience and a track record of leading work packages in interdisciplinary European consortia.
