Biography

 

I hold a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Technological and Educational Institute of Piraeus, Athens, Greece in 2013, graduated with distinction. During this time I undertook several internships in the industry including a 6-month placement in Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA as a mechanical engineer.

I continued my studies at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) where I obtained an MSc in Sustainable Energy. It was a 2-year program with a specialization in thermal energy. My MSc dissertation examined diverse energy storage technologies with a novel system of thermo-electric energy storage system.

Afterwards, I continued my studies at LoLo CDT in Loughborough University where I obtained my MRes in Energy Demand. My research dissertation focused on the thermal performance of single-sided naturally ventilated classrooms. For the purpose of this analysis, I performed CFD simulations and the results were assessed against the updated draft version of BB101.

For my PhD project, I will work on the field of mixed mode ventilation.
. The aims of this project are to develop a control algorithm for mixed-mode buildings in hot climates. The sophisticated algorithm will optimally select between natural and mechanical ventilation in order to constantly maintain thermally comfortable internal environments as well as to minimise the energy consumption of the building. For the purpose of this research CFD simulations will be performed alongside with dynamic thermal modelling of the buildings
