Short Biography Ν. Vlachos was born in the Greek island of Euboia and was raised in Marousi-Ahens, Greece. He received the degrees of Mech.-Elect. Engineer from the Natl Texchnical University of Athens (1967), ΜSc in Thermal Power (1972) and PhD in Fluids Engineering (1977) from Ιmperial College, London University. He is member of the Greek Technical Chambers (1967), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1976), and senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (1987).

He obtained a scholarship from the State Scholarships Foundation (1961-63), British Heart Foundation (1972-74) and the Min. of Coordination (1974-76), and received a Du Pont Award for Laser Doppler Research (1983). He is a referred in the Who’s Who in the World (1994-), Who’s Who in Technology (1987-), Who’s Who in Optical Engineering (1986), and Who’s Who in Science & Engineering (1999-)

He worked as a researcher, faculty member or company executive in England, France and the USA more than twenty years (1970-91). He has specialized in laser flow diagnostics and computational fluid dynamics. In the USA he developed flow models for the space shuttle main engines (NASA) and for flue gas sulfur scrubbing (Dept. of Energy) and in England models and laser anemometry for blood flow and internal combustion engines. He has given invited lectures in England, France, Germany and the USA and has organized conferences and colloquia on topics of flow, environment and energy. He has been reviewer for scientific journals or conferences and research proposals.

He has taught aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, computational fluid dynamics and measurement techniques in the thermal sciences in the universities of Illinois at Urbana, Alabama in Huntsville, Aegean and Thessaly. His research interests are in thermo-fluid mechanics of energy systems, propulsion and environment, laser flow diagnostics and mathematical models of flow and transport phenomena. He has presented more than (60) articles in scientific journals and conferences.

He is the first elected professor (1992) of the Engineering School of the UTH and as acting chairman (1992-98) of the Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Department contributed to its organization and development. He served as chairman of the UTH Library committee (1994-99), and as member of the governing boards of the universities of Aegean (1993-95) and Thessaly (1994-98). He was president of the technological center for metals ΕΒΕΤΑΜ (1994-98) and a founding member of the Hellenic Laboratory Association (1997) and its president (1999-2000). He was the scientific responsible for the 2nd CSFP project for the development of the UTH Library (1996-2000) and for the postgraduate program of the MIE Department (1998-2000). He is member of the Scientific Committee of the Panhellenic Association of Certified Mechanical-Electrical Engineers (1998-) and the Editorial Board IV (Mechanical & Naval) of the Greek Technical Chamber.

Since 1995 he is directing the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachines of UTH where he is supervising research projects in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena using computational fluid dynamics and laser flow diagnostics for applications involving energy, processes and the environment. He is the scientific responsible of the UTH research team for the national program for controlled thermonuclear fusion, in the framework of the Association Euratom – Hellenic Republic (General Secretariat for Research & Technology).
