About

I’m Ioannis Michos, a PhD chemical engineer working on EU research proposals and battery materials, with experience as a European Commission expert.

At CERTH / CPERI, I contribute to proposal writing and preparation, manage EU-funded research projects, and study advanced battery materials. I also develop software and use data analysis and AI automation in my work.

I studied chemical engineering at the University of Patras and completed my PhD at the University of Cincinnati. I’m now based in Ptolemaida, Greece.
