About

Vasileios Thomopoulos is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural technology, sustainability, and smart systems. His work centers on transforming traditional greenhouse farming through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Thomopoulos’s major contributions lie in developing integrated, data-driven control systems that enhance crop yield, economic viability, and environmental sustainability. His highly cited 2021 study on innovative training for smart greenhouse technologies (50 citations) underscores the critical role of human expertise in deploying these advanced systems. He further demonstrated practical impact with his work on an integrated IoT-based greenhouse control system featuring a three-device robotic platform (31 citations), addressing the challenges of monitoring large hydroponic installations. More recently, his 2024 research explores the novel intersection of renewable energy and medicinal plant cultivation, investigating the effects of greenhouse-integrated photovoltaics on *Aloe vera* at the University of Patras. Through this body of work, Thomopoulos is at the forefront of creating more efficient, resilient, and sustainable agricultural systems for the future.
