Dimitris joined us in Spring 2020 from University of Delaware where he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and the Principal Engineer at Assanis & Associates, Inc., an engineering consulting company. His research expertise includes advanced experimental techniques, such as optical diagnostics for combustion and spray imaging, computational fluid dynamics models aimed at improving fuel-air mixing, and ignition and combustion of alternative low-carbon and carbon neutral fuels in advanced combustion engines. The ultimate goal of his group’s efforts is to improve the efficiency of energy conversion, power generation and propulsion systems. He received his PhD, MS and BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
