1. General Information
Halevidis Constantinos was born in Athens, Greece, in 1987. He obtained the
Electrical and Computer Engineer Diploma from the School of Electrical and
Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens, in 2009. He
acquired his diploma in 8 semesters instead of the normal 10, with a 9.26 grade. He
was awarded the title of Doctor by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
of the National Technical University of Athens. He published over 10 papers in peerreviewed journals, as well as a significant number of papers in conference
proceedings. Additionally, he assisted in the teaching of a number of courses, and
supervised laboratory experiments. Furthermore, he lectured in a HVAC seminar for
the Technical Chamber of Greece. Finally, he is contracted as a technical expert for
HEDNO (Hellenic Distribution Network Operator) and other private-sector
companies. His main research interests are diverse including topics such as power
transmission and distribution, high voltage testing, smart grids, renewable energy
sources, and ELF fields.
