Nikos Andritsos is Professor of Experimental Transport Phenomena in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Thessaly. He joined the Department in 2003. He was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1956. He graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1979. He received the M.Sc. degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from University of Manchester (UMIST), U.K., in 1981, and the Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), U.S.A., in 1986. During his graduate studies at the latter institution he worked as a Teaching and Research Assistant and in 1983 he received the Department’s Award for teaching excellence. He was employed as a Research Scientist by the Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute in Thessaloniki (CPERI/CERTH, overseen by the General Secretariat of Research & Technology, Ministry of Development) from 1987 until his appointment at the University of Thessaly. He has been vice-president of the Board of the Vocational Center of the Technology Park of Thessaloniki (from 1995 to 2002) and has served as a member of the Scientific Council of the Institute (Oct. 2001-May 2003). His main research interests are in the fields of process equipment design, scale formation and mitigation in heat exchangers and membrane processes and two-phase flows, with applications in energy and water conservation in industry, exploitation of energy sources with emphasis to Geothermal Energy, pollution abatement processes etc. He has taught the courses "Transport Phenomena" (undergraduate and postgraduate courses), "Air-pollution Control", "Energy and the Environment", "Two-phase Flows and Phase Change" (postgraduate) and "Introduction to Sustainable Energy" (postgraduate) and has been instructor in the Postgraduate Course on Monument Deterioration and Conservation, AUTH. He has authored or co-authored 37 papers in refereed journals, over 140 papers in Proceedings of International and National Conferences, 1 chapter in a Book, two books on Geothermal Energy (one in Greek and the second in English). He has also translated and edited in Greek the book "Transport Phenomena" by R.S. Brodkey and H.C. Hershey. He has been chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Department from November 2015 till November 2017. Profiles of Nikos Andritsos: ResearcherID (Science Citation Index) | Google Scholar |
