Biography
Dr Dimitrios Tsaoulidis is a Senior Lecturer of Chemical Engineering in the School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at the 麻豆视频. He is also an Honorary Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at University College London. His research interests evolve around clean energy (nuclear, bio, solar), healthcare, and manufacturing and particularly their connection with intensified technologies. He specializes in complex multi-phase flows at different scales (nano-to-macro) and their application to process intensification in energy, manufacturing, and synthesis. His research combines advanced experimental investigations of multi-phase hydro- and thermo- dynamics that are enabled by cutting-edge sensing and measurement technologies, as well as numerical simulations, modelling, and optimization.
Dr Tsaoulidis has been involved in the conception and development of many successful proposals and was supported by different UKRI-funded projects (Innovate UK, EPSRC) for his work on concentrated solar power, spent nuclear reprocessing, and biowaste valorisation.
Dr Tsaoulidis obtained his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and his PhD in Chemical/Nuclear Engineering from University College London. His PhD research dealt with investigative experimental and numerical studies of a novel combination of liquid-liquid separations in microfluidic channels and the use of ionic liquids, and in particular micro-droplet extractions relevant to spent nuclear reprocessing. For his PhD thesis, the Dept. of Chemical Engineering (UCL) honoured him with the esteemed David Newton鈥檚 Award for his excellent research in the field of Sustainability. He also received a Springer Thesis award, and his work has been published in the 鈥淪pringer Theses鈥 series of outstanding dissertations. Upon completion of his PhD, Dr Tsaoulidis worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at University College London working on areas related to nuclear and biomass valorisation.
For his contributions to teaching and mentoring, Dr Tsaoulidis has been accredited as 鈥淔ellow鈥 of the Higher Education Academy.
