Education:
1992: PhD in Chemical Engineering, Univ. of Patras, Greece
1986: Diploma in Chemical Engineering, Univ. of Patras, Greece
Previous Employment/Occupation:
1992-2001: Post-Doctoral Fellow, FORTH/ICE-HT & Technical Staff at Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of
Patras.
Research Activities:
– Separation Processes, wastewater treatment by membrane filtration technologies (Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis, distillation, crystallization, adsorption, extraction, etc. Applications in agroindustrial wastewater treatment technologies.
– Isolation and purification of bioactive compounds with high added value, from agro-industrial wastewaters.
– Technologies and particle separation methods, Particulate systems, Flow in granular porous materials, filtering of particulate pollutants, colloid particle migration within soil, computer- aided simulation of particle transport and deposition within porous media (dynamic behavior of deep bed filtration systems).
– Water & wastewater treatment methods, Design of water and wastewater treatment systems, Environmental Management and Protection.
– Crystal growth in porous media, consolidation and stabilization of non -aggregated porous materials with inorganic salt precipitation, deposition of sparingly soluble salts in oil extraction rock formations:
Applications: Consolidation of poorly consolidated oil reservoirs, stabilization of sandy soils for building purposes, protection of soil from water and wind erosion, water proofing of underground constructions (tunnels) and rainwater reservoirs.
