Dr. Konstantinos V. Nikolitsas is an Assistant Professor at the School of Rural, Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He holds a Diploma (MEng) and a PhD in Engineering from NTUA. His doctoral research focused on developing laboratory methodologies for calibrating digital geodetic instruments, while his postdoctoral work, conducted at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), addressed the correction of refraction in zenith angle measurements within high-precision geodetic networks.

His professional experience combines academic research with applied engineering in the fields of precision surveying (Large Scale Metrology) and instrumentation. He has worked on the metrological assessment of geodetic instruments, the development of calibration standards and software tools, as well as the implementation of high-accuracy measurement systems in both industrial and scientific environments — including underground facilities and cultural heritage sites. Highlights of his work include the geometric monitoring of particle detector components at CERN, advanced refraction modeling in tunnel environments, and orientation studies of ancient Greek monuments. 

Dr. Nikolitsas specializes in geodetic metrology, uncertainty modeling, and surveying system calibration. He has authored or co-authored numerous scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences. He is a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) and the Hellenic Association of Rural and Surveying Engineers (PSDATM), and is on the organizing and scientific committee of the Greek Metrology Conference.
