Short bio
On 2015 I received my Diploma Degree in Mechanical Engineering (specialised in Ground and Air Transport Vehicles) in National Technical University of Athens. I was always interested in motorsports and aerodynamics, joining the Formula Student team of NTUA, starting and leading the aerodynamics department.
During my studies and participating in the Formula Student team I expanded my knowledge on aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics. During my Diploma Thesis entitled “Contribution to the aerodynamic optimisation of an FSAE race car using OpenFOAM and continuous adjoint methods” I came much closer with OpenFOAM and the difficulties of vehicle shape optimisation.
That is when I found about the PhD position “The proper generalised decomposition for interactive aerodynamic optimisation”. A research position, aiming to tackle problems the automotive industry is facing in the aerodynamic optimisation process through novel methodologies. Naturally, I was eager to participate.
