Chemical Engineer, Ph.D.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering in 2002 and further pursued my passion for research and innovation by obtaining a Master of Science degree in "Simulation, Optimization, and Control of Processes" in 2005. This was followed by the successful completion of my Ph.D., where my thesis, "A new method of measuring the fractional wetting of porous media by means of two-phase displacement experiments," was a significant contribution to the field. My academic journey was generously supported by the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas/Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences from my undergraduate studies through the attainment of my Ph.D.
Over the years, I have gained valuable experience in the research domain of transport phenomena, membranes, physical chemistry etc. I have worked as a post-doctoral research scientist at prestigious institutions such as IFP Energies Nouvelles in France and various departments at the University of Patras. My role involved not only scientific supervision at the laboratory level but also actively contributing to writing research proposals, scientific publications, and project reports. One of my significant achievements includes being the principal investigator in a project funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation, titled "WetμFluid- Effect of Pore Surface Wettability on Mineral Scaling, a μFluidic approach." This project, conducted in collaboration with FORTH/ICE-HT & IFP Energies Nouvelles, involved supervising a Ph.D. thesis and numerous diploma theses.
My research interests are firmly rooted in physicochemical phenomena, with a focus on multiphase flow in porous materials and channels, particle retention in packed beds, and the application of membranes for the extraction/isolation and purification of substances from agroindustrial wastes.
My journey so far has equipped me with a diverse skill set, a deep understanding of complex chemical and engineering processes, and a strong commitment to research and education.
My organisation
At the Laboratory of Transport Phenomena and Physicochemical Hydrodynamics, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras (Greece), we specialize in creating innovative solutions to complex physical and physicochemical processes, emphasizing sustainability and efficiency. Our faculty and students collaborate on cutting-edge projects that bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing the next generation of engineers for global challenges. We invite partners and industry leaders to join us in advancing knowledge and technology in the field of chemical engineering.
