Short CV
Eirini studied Chemical Engineering (MEng) at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) from where she graduated in 2009. Her Diploma thesis focused on the study of volumetric properties and density profile of polyethylene melt under negative pressures, with the use of molecular simulation methods. She then joined Imperial College London where she obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2014 with research focus the development of novel algorithms for the design of solvents that accelerate chemical reactions. After her graduation, she worked as a Research Associate at Imperial College London until April 2015 when she joined the RENESENG project at NTUA, as a Marie Curie Research Fellow.
Objective
Member of RENESENG project (ER 1.3). The main research focus is on systems integration of models, integration of tools, development of data repositories and case studies for biorenewables. The ultimate objective of the role is the development of (a) a model repository with relation to biorenewables, with support for links and possible interactions between applications, (b) a data repository with links to engineering, thermodynamic and economic data on biorenewables, and (c) functions to search and combine different applications with examples and illustrates to assist users.
Current Status
Familiarisation with ontology engineering and CAPE-OPEN. Gathering and classification of biomass pathways and models related to biorefineries.
Future 6-months Plan
Development of a model repository with relation to biorenewables, with support for links and possible interactions between applications and starting the development of a data repository with links to engineering, thermodynamic and economic data on biorenewables.
