Curriculum Vitae |
Mechanical Engineer, with a PhD on Thermal Energy Systems (Solar Air-Conditioning). He has collaborated with NCSR DEMOKRITOS, on the field of energy systems performance analysis, on a research as well as accredited testing level. By this time, he is largely involved on the assessment of the energy performance of buildings and various processes installations, considering issues of HVAC equipment, envelope. Issues related with the assessment and improvement of thermal comfort and air quality are also considered. At the same time, his interest for R&D on HVAC systems, and their combination with solar thermal systems, remains active. He has experience on the penetration of Renewable Energy Sources on a greater scale. He is a regular reviewer in relevant Scientific Journals, as well as a reviewer for relevant Projects on behalf of the Greek Secretariat for Research and Technology. He has participated in 16 R& D projects, as a member of the research team or scientific responsible, and has over than 50 publications in relevant Scientific Journals, International and National Conferences. |
