About
Theodoros Petrakis is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of sustainable agriculture and smart technology, with a primary focus on leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) and renewable energy to optimize medicinal plant cultivation. His most cited work, a 2024 study on the impact of greenhouse-integrated photovoltaics on Aloe vera cultivation, demonstrates his core contribution: designing and testing advanced, sensor-driven smart greenhouses that enhance crop yield while reducing energy costs. By integrating IoT technologies, environmental sensors, and photovoltaic systems at a large-scale pilot facility at the University of Patras, Greece, Petrakis has shown how real-time data can be used to create optimal growing conditions for high-value plants. This research, which has already garnered attention with one citation, is notable for its practical, scalable approach to addressing global food and medicine supply challenges. Petrakis’s work is particularly significant for students and researchers interested in the convergence of agritech, renewable energy, and data-driven farming, offering a blueprint for sustainable, high-efficiency agriculture in a changing climate.
