Professional Summary
Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michail Ploumis graduated from the Hellenic Army Academy in 1990. He holds a PhD from the University of Peloponnese (Department of Economics), where his research focused on Strategy, Operational Art, and National Defense Economics.

A Distinguished Graduate of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC, Class of 2016), he holds a Master of Strategic Studies (MSS).

He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Department of Business Administration at NKUA. His research interests center on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on leadership, and strategic, operational, and tactical warfare.
With my background in military strategy, leadership, and systems theory, I am deeply focused on studying Cognitive Warfare and Strategic Intelligence through the lens of Cybernetics. Today, the battlefield is no longer just physical; it is informational and psychological. Technologies like disinformation, deepfakes, and automated messaging now have the power to destabilize entire societies.
In my research, I apply the cybernetic principles of 'control and communication' to map how information flows and to find weaknesses in decision-making processes. My goal is to help build strong frameworks for cognitive security. I have already spent significant time researching how the teachings of great strategists, such as Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, apply to modern AI environments and how these classic ideas are changing our world today.
