Vasileios joined the group in September 2021 as a postdoctoral researcher. He obtained his M. Eng. in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (Athens, Greece) and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (Minneapolis, MN, USA). During his PhD he worked on a variety of interfacial fluid mechanics problems involving moving contact lines (wetting failure of non-Newtonian liquids, droplet evaporation, droplets interacting with soft solids), under the supervision of Prof. Satish Kumar.
In the Interface group, his primary research focus is patient-specific blood flow simulations in the carotid arteries. The goal of this work is the potential clinical establishment of simulations for optimized diagnostics and stroke-risk stratification. This research is done in cooperation with Universitätsspital Zürich (USZ).
