About
I’m Konstantinos Skantz is, an electrical & computer engineering graduate with a strong focus on power electronics, renewable energy, and high-speed electronics. I’m currently working on my PhD thesis designing and building a robust PV tracer capable of measuring up to 1.5 kV and 15 A with high accuracy, aiming to make high-KWp PV testing far more cost-effective.
Beyond research, I enjoy turning ideas into real systems through FPGA-based hardware work, embedded simulations, and applied AI for predictive maintenance and cost/environment reduction. I also bring a disciplined, hands-on mindset from triathlon and calisthenics, and I regularly expand my knowledge through non-academic reading, self-study in AI and web development, and participation in international educational programs and competitions.

Work experience· 6 roles
Designed and implemented the Clefia symmetric cryptography algorithm in FPGA using Vivado, optimizing throughput using a replication technique known in VLSI for higher performance. Managed to reach 1.3 Gbps throughput with a baseline approach and improved to 32 Gbps using replication and pipelining. Work included FPGA design, Vivado, and pipelined/replicated architecture development suitable for high-speed cryptographic processing.
Designed and simulated local clock distribution for an asymmetric network with target frequency of 3.3 GHz (experiments at 10 GHz). Used multiple techniques to minimize skew under nominal conditions by eliminating skew, then validated via Monte Carlo Tree Search that skew stays below 5% of clock period under extreme conditions including CMOS process variability.
Designed and constructed a fully controllable load that can operate in pulsed or steady-state conditions. Implemented both current limiting and voltage limiting modes to support DUT prototypes and typical loads that cannot be achieved using simple current-only or voltage-only regulators. Focused on building versatile active load behavior with reliable control for testing and validation.
