معرفی
Constantinos Taliotis is an Assistant Professor in the Energy Planning and Analysis group at the Cyprus Institute (CyI), where he has been since 2018. Previously, he worked at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden. His research focuses on energy systems modeling, climate policy design, and decarbonization strategies. He collaborates closely with national authorities to inform long-term energy and climate planning in Cyprus, leveraging interdisciplinary frameworks like the Climate-Land-Energy-Water (CLEWs) system. Taliotis holds a PhD in Energy and Environmental Systems from KTH, an MSc in Sustainable Technology, and a BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Resource Sciences from Trent University, Canada.
Education:
- PhD in Energy and Environmental Systems, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden
- MSc in Sustainable Technology, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden
- BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Resource Sciences, Trent University, Canada
Research Interests: Dr. Taliotis specializes in energy transition financing, regional decarbonization pathways, electricity trade dynamics, and policy frameworks for sustainable development. His work emphasizes practical collaboration with international organizations such as the World Bank, UN DESA, and IRENA to bridge research and policy implementation.
Key Contributions: He leads projects on climate-neutral planning in isolated energy systems (e.g., Cyprus) and develops open-source tools like the Global Least-Cost User-Friendly CLEWs model. His analyses of the EU’s 'Fit for 55' policy package and post-pandemic green recovery frameworks highlight his role in actionable policy design.
Grants and Collaborations: Ongoing projects include evaluating cross-border electricity trade in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, assessing Africa’s energy sector investment opportunities, and modeling climate resilience in hydropower-dependent regions.
Labs/Teams: As part of CyI’s STEDI-RC, he contributes to interdisciplinary teams advancing science-driven policy solutions for sustainable development goals.
