Dr. George M. Stavrakakis studied Chemical Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) (1998-2003). He holds a MSc in Computational Mechanics NTUA since 2005. In 2010 he was awarded a PhD by the same University with his thesis “Mathematical modelling of thermal comfort and indoor air quality and advanced techniques for optimizing building design: Applications on naturally ventilated buildings”. He possesses 15 years of professional and research experience in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy. In 2024 he was elected as Assistant Professor in the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), while since 2020, at times he conducted teaching courses in energy-related topics at the same Institution in the framework of university scholarships. From November 2019 to September 2024, he worked as Energy Research and Development Consultant and undertook coordination and management of Energy Efficiency/Rational Use of Energy/Renewable Energy (EE/RUE/RES) projects. As senior R&D Consultant he was assigned as a Scientific Coordinator on behalf of MES Energy S.A. in the framework of the research project TES4Trig (ERANET CSP Programme), focusing on the ORC trigeneration system integration design in tertiary buildings. From February 2012 to October 2019, he was a researcher at the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving (CRES) and participated in many research projects in the framework of EU Programmes such as HORIZON2020, FP7 and Interreg. On behalf of CRES he has coordinated the preparation of many research proposals and participated in project implementation involving – among others – energy planning in the built environment. Indicatively, he was assigned as the overall Coordinator of the projects REPUBLIC-MED (Programme MED 2007-2013) and IMPULSE (Interreg MED 2014-2021) in the framework of CRES being the Leading Partner (LP) of the involved consortia, both focusing on buildings and urban energy planning. He has developed innovative methods in building and urban energy planning and optimization as well as in strategic energy planning of building stocks. Part of his research contribution has been published in international scientific journals such as “Building and Environment”, “Energy and Buildings”, “Sustainable Cities and Society”, “Sustainability”, and “Energies”. He has published 20 articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, 2 book chapters and numerous presentations in Conferences and events. He is serving as a Guest co-Editor in the Special Issue «Planning and Management of Buildings’ Energy and Environmental Efficiency in Urban Environment» of the Energies MDPI journal. According to Scopus, up to August 2024, his published scientific work had received more than 500 citations and a h-index 10.
