@charalamposthoidis
Aspiring electrical engineer with expertise in energy systems.
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, focusing on the energy sector. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in electrical design and analysis, particularly in the context of renewable energy and battery storage systems. My master's thesis involves the analysis and modeling of regenerative braking systems for electric vehicles, showcasing my commitment to sustainable engineering solutions.
During my internship at Toyota Motor Europe, I gained hands-on experience in designing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and conducting in-depth market analysis within the EU's renewable energy landscape. My role as a High Voltage Engineer with the Democritus Racing Team allowed me to lead the design of critical powertrain components for an electric racecar, where I honed my skills in electrical system integration and real-time data analysis. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about pushing the boundaries of engineering innovation.
