Konstantinos Modis

Dr Konstantinos Modis is a Mining Engineer with more than 30 years of academic and industrial experience in Earth Sciences. He obtained a PhD in geostatistics studying mixed sulphide ore deposits in Greece. In his career, he has fulfilled different roles in research, exploration and mining geostatistics, including resources engineering in Aegean Metallurgical Industries (METBA SA), where mixed sulphide ores were mined and the Olympias Gold Project was designed and permitted, and also consulting in the Hellenic Industrial and Mining Investment Corporation (HIMIC SA) which owned mineral deposits in Greece and Cyprus. He was also a pioneer in the development of mining software for desktop computers with advanced graphical interface. For these achievements he was granted the Geological Sciences Award “Konstantinos Ktenas” of the Academy of Athens. As a Professor of Mineral Exploration and Geostatistics at the National Technical University of Athens, he has championed innovative educational methods, integrating interactive multimedia approaches. His research interests encompass the geostatistical estimation of mineral reserves and the formulation of stochastic models that incorporate natural laws in areas such as geothermal energy, rock mechanics, groundwater flow, and related fields.
