Ilias Karachalios

Senior Researcher | Lecturer | TEDxPatras Experience Team Member As a Senior Researcher at the National Technical University of Athens and Lecturer at the Democritus University of Thrace, I merge climate science, education, and research to tackle sustainability challenges. Since 2015, I’ve been crafting experiences with the TEDxPatras team—designing moments that spark curiosity, urgency, and connection. When not teaching future eco-warriors or geeking over waste management, I’m sipping espresso with my TEDx family—a crew that debates fonts like it’s foreplay and believes saving the planet should feel less like homework, more like a revolution. Let’s turn ideas into action. Climate educator. Experience architect. Relentless optimist. 🌍☕
