Christos Michalopoulos

Christos Michalopoulos is a scientific researcher in the Hydroinformatics team. He holds a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). In his thesis, he conducted a comprehensive evaluation of various machine learning algorithms to forecast mid-term water usage consumption. Prior to joining KWR, Christos gained experience in large-scale construction projects as a site engineer, focusing on building extensive water and sewage systems. At KWR, he is currently involved in the Smart Water Futures project, which is a funded ERC Synergy Grant initiative. The project’s primary objective is to design the next generation of intelligent urban drinking water systems. In his role within the Smart Water Futures project, Christos aims to develop artificial intelligence models capable of predicting the most uncertain cases for water network design. Additionally, he is pursuing a Ph.D. on the same topic.
