On 1st of March 2024, Spyros Chatzivasileiadis was appointed full Professor in Advanced Computational Methods for Power Systems.
“Spyros has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of power systems”, says Professor and Head of Division, Jacob Østergaard. “He is an inspiring individual whose expertise, respectfulness and kindness enriches his students, colleagues, and industrial and academic collaboration partners worldwide.”
Among other things, Spyros's pioneering research on trustworthy machine learning and quantum computing has garnered international acclaim.
“Running the world on renewable energy requires disruptive solutions. I am fascinated by putting forward solutions that can change the way we think and operate our energy system to accelerate the green transition", says Spyros. ”I am honoured to be appointed Professor at DTU, and I am looking forward to continuing working with my team on the next-generation scientific tools that will keep our lights on while also training new generations of outstanding engineers in Denmark”.
Spyros Chatzivasileiadis is also the Head of Section for Power Systems.
In 2020 he received the prestigious ERC Starting Grant for promising young researchers awarded by the
European Research Council (ERC). The project,
VeriPhIED, introduces groundbreaking tools for trustworthy AI and physics-informed neural networks in power systems - read more about it
