Theofilos Papadopoulos
PhD in spatial computing. I build digital twins, robots, buildings and the companies around them.
I research spatial computing, teach it, and build where it meets the real world: construction, hospitality, digital twins and robotics.

- Computer Applications in Surveying
I started as a surveying engineer, measuring land. That led me to the web, to 3D maps and mixed reality, and to a PhD on how virtual worlds and digital twins can be grounded in geospatial science.
Along the way I started building physical things too: buildings, an apartment hotel, a robot. Each side makes me better at the other.
