Christos Kastrisios

Christos Kastrisios is a Research Professor at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) within the University of New Hampshire. His work focuses on advancing nautical cartography, hydrographic data analysis, and automated charting workflows. He leads research in bathymetric data quality, interpolation uncertainty, and maritime navigation safety systems.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Cartography, National Technical University of Athens
• M.P.S. in Geospatial Information Sciences, University of Maryland
• B.Sc. in Naval Science and Art, College of Naval Architecture, Piraeus

Research Interests: Cartography, Hydrography, Nautical Chart Automation, Data Quality Visualization, and Maritime Spatial Analysis. His projects emphasize integrating geospatial standards (e.g., IHO S-122) and machine learning to enhance chart accuracy and safety.

Publications Trends: Recent work addresses automated charting workflows, bathymetric uncertainty quantification, and vessel trajectory analysis. Key themes include optimizing data visualization for ECDIS systems and improving interoperability between survey data and navigation charts.

Grants & Laboratories: Active in CCOM’s ocean engineering lab, contributing to projects like the Spanish EEZ mapping initiative. Collaborates on open-source tools for hydrographic surveying and marine data integration.
