Theocharis has held postdoctoral appointments at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Postdoctoral Scholar), Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Research Associate), and Center for New Music & Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at UC Berkeley (Visiting Composers and Researcher). His work integrates environmental data science and acoustics, focusing on the development and implementation of innovative, multi-modal data rendering techniques to sonify ecosystems and extreme environmental events. The research aims to develop a deeper understanding of the impacts of climate change through the lens of acoustics. 

​

In 2022, in collaboration with colleague and flutist Sasha Ishov, Theocharis has co-founded PrismaSonus, a research and artistic initiative dedicated to two main areas: experimenting with innovative recording techniques -such as inserting acoustic sensors inside flutes to analyze their interior acoustics- and creating immersive auditory experiences that materialize the findings of the research. 

​

Theocharis holds a Ph.D. in Music Composition from University of California San Diego (UCSD) where he worked with Rand Steiger, Lei Liang, and Miller Puckette. Other leading institutions he studied at include the Eastman School of Music, IRCAM, and Sibelius Academy.
