Short Bio |
Maurice Politis is a Chemical Engineer (MEng Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering, University of Surrey, UK) with a PhD in Multiscale transport phenomena from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the university of Western Macedonia. Since July 2009 he is a Computational Science appointed Technical Faculty at the Dep. of Mechanical Engineering, University of Western Macedonia, Kozani, Greece. Experienced engineer with a background in applied research, project work and scientific computing. Research focus: The application of advanced computational techniques to solve practical engineering problems in the area of Transport Phenomena with the aspiration to apply a unified methodology to characterize quantitatively the microstructure of disordered heterogeneous materials using theoretical and high performance computer-simulation techniques. Microscopic and macroscopic simulation of physicochemical processes in porous media including single and two phase flow, molecular diffusion, conduction and adsorption. |
