Vassilios Charalampakos

Charalambakos Vassilis graduated in 1998 from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology of the University of Patras and completed his PhD thesis at the High Voltage Laboratory of the University of Patras during the period 1999-2004. The subject of his thesis was the simulation of the electrical decomposition of gas dielectrics.

From 2001 to 2009 he worked as a laboratory and scientific collaborator at the Department of Electrical Engineering of TEI of Western Greece and participated as a researcher in a significant number of research projects. In 2009 he was elected Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of TEI of Western Greece.

Since 2019 he is a faculty member of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering of the University of Peloponnese. He is in charge of the Laboratory of Electrical Machines. He teaches Electrical Machines I & Electrical Machines II, Introduction to EEE and High Voltage.

His research interests include testing and measurements of solid, liquid and gas dielectrics, partial discharge measurements, development of models for the simulation of the electrical decay of solid, liquid and gas dielectrics, nano dielectrics and lightning protection. He has more than 50 published scientific papers in international journals and conferences.
