The Hellenic Society of Rheology (HSR) has announced that the "Tasos H. Papanastasiou 2025" award will be awarded to the Deputy Templer of the Department of Chemical Engineering of TEPAK, Pavlos S. Stefanou.
This prestigious prize honors the legacy of Professor Tassos H. Papanastasiou, a pioneer in Retiology, and recognizes the excellent contribution to the field.
Retology is the science of the deformation and flow of materials, both fluids (liquids and gases) but also small (in powder form) solids. It is awarded to young scientists (for the maximum fifteen years of research activity after receiving a doctoral title) involved in Recological Research and recognizes their achievements and contribution to the progress of rheological science.
Professor Stefanos' excellent work in thermodynamics out of balance and in the statutory modeling has greatly improved our complex fluids. His work, including the development of a simple, accurate and user -friendly differential statutes for the rhythm of polymer bands and solutions of shaped polymer, had a profound effect on the field.
In recognition of his achievements, he will deliver a central lecture entitled "Modeling of complex fluids using thermodynamics out of balance: from polymers to cementitious".
The award will be awarded for the first time at the 11th meeting of the Hellenic Association of Retology to be held in Syros between June 1-14, 2025.
Short resume
Ans. Prof. Pavlos Stefanou, PhD (C. 1982) graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Patras, Patras, Greece in 2006 (GMO: 9.24/10). Then, a doctoral studies followed in the same department under the guidance of Prof. Vlasi Mavrantza. His doctoral dissertation is entitled "Development of Methodologies and Scale Bridging Bridge based on the result of detailed individualistic simulations for the reliable prediction of the viscosine properties of polymers". During his postgraduate career he has worked at the University of Cyprus, ETH Zurich (Switzerland), at the Cyprus University of Technology, and Novamechanics Ltd (Cyprus) having received several research scholarships. He received the "Cyprus Research Award - New Researcher 2015" from the Cyprus Research and Promotion Foundation on November 23, 2015 (Thematic Area: Natural Sciences and Engineering), for his research work entitled "Modeling of the viscosine response Polymer nannial materials guided by the principles of thermodynamics out of balance. " He has been, since September 2019, a member of the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Cyprus University of Cyprus in Limassol. His research work links three levels of systems description, individualistic or tiny, mescal and macroscopic, through the development of scale bridges using a) non -balance for the export of statutory models for complex fluids and b) strategies dynamics of polymer and other complex systems. Dr. Stephanou is a writer or co-author> 40 publications in magazines.
