Antonis Hadjiantonis

Antonis Hadjiantonis serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the School of Sciences and Engineering, University of Cyprus, where he conducts research at the intersection of power systems engineering and optical communications. His work addresses critical challenges in electrical infrastructure modernization and network efficiency.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering from City University of New York
• Master of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering from City University of New York
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from The City College of New York
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from The City College of New York

Dr. Hadjiantonis specializes in power quality enhancement through innovative compensator designs and optical network optimization. His research portfolio demonstrates dual expertise in power systems (focusing on reactive power management, STATCOM applications, and transformer design) and telecommunications (specializing in passive optical networks, WDM systems, and multicasting architectures). Recent projects emphasize practical implementations for grid stability and high-bandwidth optical solutions.

Analysis of his 2018-2023 publications reveals a strategic shift toward power systems engineering, with 80% of recent outputs addressing reactive power compensation, VAR management, and STATCOM optimization. This pivot complements his foundational work in optical networking, creating synergies between power infrastructure modernization and communication network design.
