Summary
Nikos Charitos is a Staff R&D Engineer specializing in smart grid technologies with 8 years of experience at the intersection of electrical engineering, energy systems and digital products. Based in Athens, he leads system analysis, architecture and requirements engineering for European research and innovation projects, coordinating multi-partner work packages and driving proposal development. He has hands-on product ownership experience—delivering a residential energy and flexibility management app deployed in pilots across two countries—and built a prototype Demand Response Management System from scratch. His academic background in sustainable energy and electrical engineering underpins rigorous modelling and optimisation skills applied earlier to PV-battery systems and market price forecasting. Notably, he combines research impact (co-authoring an IEEE SmartGridComm paper on fairness in residential demand response) with pragmatic engineering that moves pilots toward commercialization. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex research objectives into robust system requirements and deliverable architectures.
