Biography

  • Born in Nicosia Cyprus, 1952
  • 1971-1977, London University (Queen Mary College), BSc Aeronautical Engineering, PhD in Unsteady Aerodynamics
  • 1978-1979, Post-Doctoral Research Associate, University of London
  • 1979-1989, Scientific software company CHAM ltd, Wimbledon (Head of Consultancy Division 1987-89)
  • 1989 Joined the University of Greenwich
  • 1994, Professor of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Since leaving university, my professional career has been dedicated to the teaching, development and application of CFD techniques and software. My first employment (1979) was with the software company CHAM, an offshoot of Imperial College, CFD pioneers involved in the development of the first ever commercial CFD code PHOENICS. In a series of career moves from development, to software support, to consultancy, I became Head of the Consultancy division in 1987, involved in  the acquisition, conceptual design and management of a wide range of projects for industry and the environment. I joined Greenwich (Thames Polytechnic as it was then) in 1989  in the position of Reader in CFD (promoted to  professor  in  1994) and have since maintained  broad interest in the application of the technology, particularly in multi-physics simulations, two-phase flow and complex reacting flows.   Topic areas of activity cover Mechanical, Process, Chemical and Aerospace Engineering, Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (MHD) in liquid metals, melting, casting, welding and alloy microstructure simulation, fluid-structure interaction, ultrasonics and computational aero-acoustics.

My research (as the CSEG team leader) is maintained up to date and at the forefront of the subject through external funding from a wide range of sources, including the EPSRC, the EU, ESA, Royal Society, British Council, Interreg and industry. Dissemination of my work appears in over 300 archival publications.

In my professional capacity, I acted as consultant to several organisations worldwide, including: Alcoa (US), ARBED (Lux), Arcelor (Fr), BAe , BRE/Fire Research Stn. , Comalco (Aus), Corus (NL), DNV, Electrowatt (Switz.), Kobe (Jpn), Lafarge (Fr), Mott-MacDonald, PSI,  Qinetiq, Rio-Tinto (UK, Aus), Rolls-Royce, Todd Combustion (USA), Xstrata-zinc.
