Profile

Master in Chemical Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1990).

Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University, Canada (1995).

Post-doctoral fellow at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands (1997-99).

Appointed Researcher at the Chemical Process Engineering and Energy Resources Institute (CPERI) (2000-06) of the Centre for Research and Technology – Hellas (CERTH). Currently, a Collaborating Senior Researcher at the Laboratory of Process Systems Design and Implementation of CPERI.

Joined the School of Mechanical Engineering of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2006. He is currently serving as Head of School of Mechanical Engineering (2015-20). AUTh Senate member (2015-16, 2018-20). Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering (2017-20). Member of the Committee for European Educational Programmes (Erasmus Actions) since 2015.

My main research interests involve advanced model predictive control systems for process and mechanical systems, integrated system design and control, sensitivity analysis in optimization problems, and modelling, design, optimization and control of complex process and energy conversion systems.

Authored more than 200 articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings. Editor of two collective volumes in “The Integration of Process Design and Control” (Elsevier, 2004) and “Process Systems and Materials for CO2 Capture” (Wiley, 2017). Currently, serves as a member of the editorial board for journals “Chemical Product and Process Modelling” and “Chemical Engineering Transactions” (both cited by Scopus and Thomson-Reuters).

  Executive Editor for Journal of Cleaner Production (Impact factor 2020: 9.297)

 

Journal cover for Cleaner Energy Systems  Co-Editor-in-Chief for Cleaner Energy Systems – an Elsevier Journal of the Cleaner Brand.

Guest Editor for special issues in the peer reviewed journals “Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy”, “Energy”, and “Applied Thermal Engineering”. Served as a member of the scientific committee for numerous international conferences.

Currently involved in a number of research projects funded by the European Commission (DG Research) and the General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT).
