Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKostas Theodorakos is a Time-series Foundation Model Researcher and machine learning engineer with eight years of experience bridging academic research and industrial R&D in Belgium. He holds a PhD in Data Science from KU Leuven, where he developed scalable multivariate time-series models, neural architecture search, and explainability techniques on HPC clusters using MPI, DeepSpeed and PyTorch Lightning. Kostas has applied his expertise across sectors—energy, air quality, agriculture, public health and automotive—building production-ready tooling from GIS and simulation platforms to cloud-parallelized deep learning pipelines. Currently researching time-series foundation models at ALTEN and previously at Toyota Motor Europe, he combines theory with practical systems engineering for large-scale spatiotemporal problems. Skilled in distributed computing, NAS, and end-to-end ML stacks, he brings a rare mix of numerical methods, software engineering (C#, Python, Node.js) and hands-on deployment experience. An understated strength is his background in spatial species mapping and epidemic simulations, which informs a pragmatic, domain-aware approach to AI for complex temporal phenomena.
