Christos Kastrisios graduated from the Hellenic Naval Academy (HNA) in 2001 with a B.Sc. in Naval Science. After his graduation he served aboard frigate HS Aegean and submarines HS Protefs and HS Poseidon, mostly as the navigator and sonar officer, and participated in several deployments at sea. In 2008 he was appointed to the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service where he served in various positions and represented his country at international committees and working groups. He holds a Pg.Dip. from the Hellenic Naval War College, a M.P.S. in GIS from the University of Maryland at College Park, and a Ph.D. in Cartography from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) for his work on the scientific aspects of maritime delimitation. He has worked as a part-time lecturer in GIS and Cartography at the HNA and NTUA. His research work at the Center focuses on data generalization, visualization, and topology on nautical charts.
