Papageorgas Panagiotis is a tenured Professor in the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering at the University of West Attica, where he directs the Laboratory of Smart Technologies, Renewable Energy Sources and Quality. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics (1984) and a Ph.D. in Physics (1995) from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). His career includes research roles at NKUA's Departments of Electronics and Applied Physics (1985–1994) and Informatics and Telecommunications (1994–2002), followed by a professorship at the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (PUAS) until 2018. Research focuses on embedded systems, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), IoT, smart grids, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). He has authored/co-authored over 100 publications addressing topics like energy efficiency, smart cities, and environmental monitoring. His work spans applications in renewable energy systems, sensor network architectures, and low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN). Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate courses in Electronics I, Modern Microcomputer Systems, and Mechatronics, as well as postgraduate modules on Embedded Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Wireless Sensor Networks. He actively participates in international conferences like the Technologies and Materials for Renewable Energy, Environment and Sustainability (TMREES) series. Key projects include developing low-cost PV I-V curve tracers, smart LED lighting platforms (LEDWIRE), and emergency communication systems using SD-WAN and LPWAN technologies. His lab emphasizes practical implementations of IoT and CPS for sustainability and resilience, with recent contributions to smart agriculture, emergency ventilators via 3D printing, and blockchain-based energy metering.
