This month we are joined by Dimitrios Letsios, Lecturer in Data Science, and Dr Georgia Panagiotidou, Lecturer in Visualisation, both from the Department of Informatics. Dr Dimitrios Letsios will be presenting on logistics optimisation for sustainable last-mile transport with operations research techniques and Dr Georgia Panagiotidou who will be presenting on beyond the individual – designing sustainable futures with energy communities.
Speaker Bio: Dr Dimitrios Letsios undertook his BSc and MSc at the Athens University of Economics and Business, before completing his PhD in Computer Science at the Université d'Evry Val d'Essonne.Prior to joining King's, he has been affiliated as a research associate with academic institutions including Imperial College London, University Côte d'Azur, the Technical University of Munich and the Pierre and Marie Curie University. The foundations of Dimitrios' research are in algorithms and computational optimization, especially at their intersection with data science and artificial intelligence. Motivating applications include energy management in computer systems, fleet management in transportations, and optimization of manufacturing processes.
Speaker bio: Dr Georgia Panagiotidou obtained a PhD from KU Leuven in Belgium, and completed her MA at Aalto University, Finland. Before joining King's, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the UCL Interaction Centre.is a Lecturer in Visualisation. Georgia's research interests lie in data visualisation, physicalisation and human-computer interaction.

Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series
The Net Zero Interdisciplinary Seminar Series is the flagship seminar series for King’s College London’s Net Zero Centre, providing a platform for cross-pollination between academia, industry and government to develop novel research projects to achieve Net Zero.
Every month, we host a speaker to discuss a new research idea and seek contributions from audience members on a proposed challenge. A half-hour talk is followed by a discussion, and we encourage speakers to engage with colleagues on research related to our four priority areas, decarbonisation, sustainable manufacturing, equitable resource allocation and resilient infrastructure.
About us
The Net Zero Centre at King's is dedicated to addressing the challenges of decarbonising our society and reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing, infrastructure, and cities. It serves as hub for scientific, technological and engineering research geared towards this challenge.
Based in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences (NMES), the Centre works across the boundaries of disciplines at King’s from geography and business to law and social science to deliver solutions for sustainable development. The Centre fosters the next generation of King’s change-makers by educating scientists and engineers on the holistic context of these challenges and developing technologically aware social scientists, lawyers, and policy makers.
