Biographic Notes

He has graduated in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Patras (Diploma 1980, Doctorate 1991). He was first employed as a Scientific Associate of the Department in 1980 and since 2018 he is a Professor. He worked for a semester as Visiting Researcher in Martin Luther University, Merseburg, Germany (1995). He is responsible for teaching topics in the fields of transport phenomena and turbulence, as well as related to experimental techniques and measurements. His research interests lie in the field of multiphase flows, turbulence, and combustion with experimental and computational techniques, and applications in energy, environment, and aeronautics. He is involved in numerous Research Projects in collaboration with Greek and foreign institutions of the public and the private sector. He has published over 100 papers in scientific journals and international conference proceedings. He has supervised successfully seven PHDs and is currently supervising five.
