Christos Chalkias
Professor
CV
Christos Chalkias is a Professor of Applied Geography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at the Department of Geography, Harokopio University. He received his B.Sc. in Geology (1991) and his Ph.D. in Geoinformatics in Earth Science (1996) from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. His research focuses on GIS and spatial analysis, applied geography, spatial pattern analysis, health geography, modeling of natural processes, and digital/web cartography. He has authored numerous publications in high-impact international journals, particularly in the areas of geospatial analysis, environmental modeling, and public health geography. He has participated in more than 40 research projects since 1995, including European and national initiatives related to geoinformatics, environmental monitoring, and spatial data infrastructures, and has coordinated several funded research programs involving geospatial applications and digital cartographic systems.
