Konstantinos Tsilionis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences (IE&IS) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on the design and governance of digitally resilient socio-technical systems, with a particular emphasis on how digital ecosystems and their infrastructures can remain robust while preserving public values such as autonomy, accountability, fairness, privacy, and strategic control.

He investigates techniques, methods, and approaches that bridge operational system design with broader organizational and societal objectives. His work explores how system design can be guided not only by technical efficiency but also by considerations of digital dependency, coordination complexity, long-term resilience, and digital sovereignty.

Positioned at the intersection of requirements engineering, enterprise modeling, and digital governance, his research aims to develop methods and frameworks that support organizations and public institutions in aligning business and IT decisions with evolving resilience, autonomy, and sovereignty challenges. His work has applications in domains such as healthcare and digital platforms, where the ability to sustain value creation under conditions of uncertainty and external dependency is increasingly critical.

Konstantinos Tsilionis holds a bachelor’s degree in physics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He holds a Master’s degree in Business Economics as well as a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) with a specialization in Business Information Management from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium. He has worked for more than three years as a physics instructor in Greece and for more than two years within the Belgian financial sector as a corporate actions market expert as well as a data analyst. He has completed his Ph.D. at the Research Center for Information Systems Engineering at KU Leuven, Belgium. The theme of his doctoral dissertation is placed at the intersection of Agile Requirements Engineering, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Business-IT Alignment, and IT Governance. In addition, he has served as a program committee member for a wide range of conferences, such as the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), among others. He has been invited to be a reviewer for journals with high impact factors such as Information and Software Technology, Journal of Systems and Software, IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, among others.
