Dr. Grigorios Panagakos is a research engineer and teaching faculty with the Chemical Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). At CMU, he is teaching transport phenomena to the next generation of scientists and engineers while being involved with state-of-the-art research for solid oxide fuel cells and carbon capture and sequestration in the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), where he was previously an ORISE research associate. He received his first degree in mechanical engineering and his MS in automation systems from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His passion for numerical methods and fluid mechanics led him to the University of Maryland for an MS in CFD and the Technical University of Denmark for his PhD. A large part of Grigorios’ modeling work for his dissertation was conducted with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and LiveLink™ for MATLAB®, a powerful combination for engineering design. Ever since, his research on computational transport phenomena, with a focus on energy-related applications, has involved COMSOL Multiphysics®.
