Πανεπιστημιούπολη
Ο Θεμιστοκλής Χαραλάμπους έλαβε το πτυχίο και το μεταπτυχιακό του στην Ηλεκτρολογία και τις Επιστήμες της Πληροφορίας από το Trinity College του Πανεπιστημίου του Cambridge. Ολοκλήρωσε τις διδακτορικές του σπουδές στο Εργαστήριο Ελέγχου του Τμήματος Μηχανικών του Πανεπιστημίου του Cambridge το 2009.
 
Μετά το διδακτορικό του, εντάχθηκε στο Human Robotics Group ως Ερευνητικός Συνεργάτης στο Imperial College του Λονδίνου (2009–2010). Εργάστηκε επίσης ως Επισκέπτης Λέκτορας στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Μηχανικών Υπολογιστών του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου (2010–2011), ως Μεταδιδακτορικός Ερευνητής στο Τμήμα Αυτόματου Ελέγχου της Σχολής Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών του KTH (2012–2015), και ως Μεταδιδακτορικός Ερευνητής στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών του Τεχνολογικού Πανεπιστημίου Chalmers (2015–2016).
 
Το 2017 εντάχθηκε στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Αυτοματισμών της Σχολής Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών του Πανεπιστημίου Aalto ως Επίκουρος Καθηγητής. Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2018 βραβεύτηκε ως Ερευνητής της Ακαδημίας της Φινλανδίας και τον Ιούλιο του 2020 προήχθη σε Αναπληρωτή Καθηγητή στο ίδιο Τμήμα.
 
Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2021 συνέχισε την ακαδημαϊκή του πορεία στο Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, όπου εντάχθηκε ως Επίκουρος Καθηγητής στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Μηχανικών Υπολογιστών. Τον Μάιο του 2022, του απονεμήθηκε το ERC Consolidator Grant για το ερευνητικό έργο «MINERVA: Emerging cooperative autonomous systems: Information for control and estimation». Τον Απρίλιο του 2026 προήχθη σε Αναπληρωτή Καθηγητή στο ίδιο Τμήμα.

Η κύρια ερευνητική του δραστηριότητα επικεντρώνεται στον σχεδιασμό, την ανάλυση και τη βελτιστοποίηση (ασύρματων) δικτυωμένων συστημάτων ελέγχου, τα οποία είναι σταθερά, επεκτάσιμα, ενεργειακά αποδοτικά και ανθεκτικά σε αβεβαιότητες. Τα συστήματα αυτά βρίσκονται στη διασταύρωση δυναμικών συστημάτων και δικτύων επικοινωνίας, όπου η απόδοση και η αξιοπιστία εξαρτώνται από την αποτελεσματική ενοποίηση ελέγχου, υπολογισμού και επικοινωνίας.

Η προσέγγισή του είναι διεπιστημονική, συνδυάζοντας ισχυρά θεωρητικά θεμέλια με πρακτικές εφαρμογές. Αντλεί μεθόδους και εργαλεία από τη θεωρία ελέγχου, τις ασύρματες επικοινωνίες, τη θεωρία δικτύων και τη κατανεμημένη βελτιστοποίηση, ενώ ενσωματώνει και στοιχεία μηχανικής μάθησης και ανάλυσης δεδομένων. Μέσω αυτής της ολοκληρωμένης προσέγγισης, η έρευνά του στοχεύει στην ανάπτυξη συστημάτων επόμενης γενιάς με αυξημένη ευφυΐα και αυτονομία, με εφαρμογές σε κυβερνο-φυσικά συστήματα, έξυπνες υποδομές και συνεργατικά πολυπρακτορικά συστήματα.
