  • Research Associate (Infrastructure & Environment)

Research interests

I work as a Research Associate in the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. I have integrated advanced multiphase CFD with additive manufacturing to optimise the design of biofilter media in silico and rapidly 3D print prototype designs. This is a speeding up innovation in the design and implementation of small-scale biofiltration for rural communities. I obtained my PhD from the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow in November 2017. In my PhD I investigated the the role of physical and biological processes in the growth of biofilms in drinking water systems. I obtained my MEng from the Department of Civil Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in April 2013. My MEng thesis was focused on the optimisation of a geothermal energy system using genetic algorithms.
