Overview

Dimitris Avgerinos has worked as a lecturer at BSBI since March 2022 and he has more than 25 years of experience in education and research. After receiving his degree in mathematics, he worked in the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) (Department of Chemical Engineering) on research programmes, European Twining programmes and scientific works, mainly in the study of environmental protection projects, energy production and projects for the use of renewable energy sources (wind energy, biomass energy production, photovoltaic arcs, etc. .) and in the supervision of construction projects of landfills and landfills rehabilitation.

During the preparation period of the Olympic Games, he worked at ATHENS 2004 as Coordinator of Environmental Operations of Sports Facilities. His activities concerned the operational design of an Integrated Cleaning and Waste Management System at the Olympic Sports Facilities, as well as the control of all environmental parameters.During the period of the Olympic Games, he held the position of Director of Environmental Operations at the Panathinaiko Stadium (Kallimarmaro).

Genetics and biotechnology were added to his research interests after obtaining his master’s degree in systems biology.

He is passionate about philosophy and education considering it to be the alpha and the omega for the healthy development of a person.

Research interests

His research concerns stochastic models in biological systems (Hidden Markov models). Markov and Hidden Markov models are engineered to handle data which can be represented as ‘sequence’ of observations over time. Hidden Markov models are probabilistic frameworks where the observed data are modelled as a series of outputs generated by one of several (hidden) internal states.
