Short CV and Research InterestsNikos Pelekasis was born in Athens, Greece, in 1963. He received his Engineering Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1991. From 1993 until 1994 he was a Research Associate at the Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics of the City College of the City University of New York.From 1997 until 2001 he was a Research Associate and a part time Lecturer at the Chemical Enineering Department of The University of Patras. He has been a Visiting Scientist at the Department of BioEngineering of the Technological University of Compiegne, France, at the Third Physical Institute of The University of Goettingen and at the Dpt. of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute for Materials and Processes pf the University of Edinburgh. He has several ongoing collaborations with Academic Institutions in Greece and abroad. Since October 2001 he has been with the University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece, where he currently is Professor of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Director of the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachinery at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He teaches courses in the areas of Computational Fluid Dynamics & Applied Mathematics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has supervised six Ph.D dissertations. His research interests include the areas of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Mechanics, Applied Mathematics and Theory of Dynamical Systems, and cover a wide spectrum of applications ranging from Biomechanics to Magnetohydrodynamics and Airfoil performance. |
