Guest Seminar: Accelerating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations

The Computational Mechanical and Materials Engineering research unit of ENTEG is excited to announce an upcoming guest seminar featuring Dr Dimokratis Grigoriadis, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus.

Join us on 21st of May at 11:30 in 5612.0134 Feringa Building for a session on "Accelerating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations".

This event is open to all.

Dr Dimokratis Grigoriadis received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from UMIST (1995, Manchester, UK) and his M.Sc. in Environmental and applied Fluid Dynamics from the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (1996, Belgium). In 1996 he joined the National Research Center “Demokritos” (Greece) initially working on environmental flows and later on computational and experimental nuclear thermal-hydraulics at the GRR-1 reactor. He received his PhD (2003) in Mechanical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) on “Large Eddy simulations of turbulent flows in complicated geometries”. He joined the University of Cyprus in 2006 as a member of the Ucy-CompSci group. In 2010, he joined the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering as a Lecturer. His current research interests include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), heat & mass transfer, Renewable energy sources, High performance & GPU computing and Algorithmic acceleration of scientific computations.
