Biography
Dr Pavlos Zachos received an honours 5-year diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 2006 from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Before joining Cranfield, he worked within the Aerothermal Methods group at Rolls-Royce plc in Derby as a designer of turbine internal cooling passages and heat transfer optimisation for the Trent engine family. In 2007, he returned to academia to complete his PhD research at Cranfield University. He was awarded a doctorate in Gas Turbine Sub-idle Performance, Altitude Relight and Windmilling in 2010. Among many other prizes, he was awarded the Cranfield Kings Norton Medal for the university’s outstanding doctoral research in 2010. Dr Zachos is a chartered engineer (CEng) through the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS).
Research Interest
Dr. Pavlos's research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computing, Simulation & Modelling, Gas Turbines & Propulsion, Instrumentation & Sensors, Power Systems & Turbines.
