​

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 at those institutions integrated 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.
