Professional Journey
After completing his undergraduate studies in Physics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1999-2003), Theodoros worked both in a private school and as a tutor for students preparing for GCE AS/A2 Level examinations for UK university admissions, as well as entrance exams for Higher Institutes and Universities of Cyprus and Greece.
His eagerness to broaden his horizons and apply his analytical and problem-solving skills to more practical and challenging aspects led him to pursue his second degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cyprus (2006-2010). He continued his studies with a M.Sc. in Computer Modelling & Finite Elements at the University of Swansea with a full scholarship from the University, which is considered one of the best universities for graduate studies worldwide in that specific area. Finally, he acquired his MBA from Imperial College London Business School (2016).
Theodoros has had the opportunity to work in prestigious and well-esteemed organizations both in Cyprus (J+A Phillipou, Demetriades & Kalathas EPS LLC, and Dion. Toumazis & Associates Architects and Consulting Engineers) and in the UK (Ridge and Partners, Eckersley O'Callaghan), acquiring experience on iconic and challenging projects requiring advanced structural analysis, building assessment, and value engineering expertise across Educational, Residential, Industrial and Commercial domains, utilizing the main structural materials, primarily Reinforced Concrete (RC) and Structural Steel (SS).
