Brief CV

Dr. Ioannis K. Nikolos received his Diploma Degree in Mechanical Engineering (1990) from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and his Ph.D. Degree from the same institution (1996) (Lab. of Thermal Turbomachines - NTUA). Dr. Nikolos is a Visiting Professor with the Institute of Plasma Physics & Lasers (IPPL), Hellenic Mediterranean University. He has more than 30 years of experience in R&D projects funded by the EU, the Industry, and the Greek State. He has coordinated 39 R&D Projects, while he participated as a researcher in 13 additional ones. His research work is in the fields of Fluid Dynamics, Turbomachinery, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Computational Engineering, Engineering Design Optimization and Traffic Flow modelling. He has co-authored one patent family, three books, 60 journal papers and book chapters, 110 conference papers and 16 posters. His work attracted more than 3000 citations (Google Scholar, h-index: 24). Prof. Nikolos has supervised 7 completed PhD Theses and he is currently supervising another 3. He is a Senior Member of AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), a Member of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and a Member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) (Computational Intelligence Society & Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society). He served as a Guest Editor (Mar. 2017 – Oct. 2017) and Associate Editor (Oct. 2017- Jan. 2021) with the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering, and as a Guest Editor for Water, while he is currently serving as an Associate Editor for ASME Open Journal of Engineering. He has been a member of the research team of the TRAMAN21 ERC project, which awarded with the IEEE ITS Society Outstanding Application Award for 2018.
