Zissis Samaras (born 22 February 1956) is a Greek mechanical engineer and a professor of thermodynamics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he began his academic career in 1989.[1]

He is also the head of the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics[2] (LAT) and co-founder of the two environmental spinoffs EMISIA SA and Exothermia.[3]

Career

[edit]

Zissis Samaras was born in Thessaloniki in 1956 and completed his PhD at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1989. He later became a lecturer in Thermodynamics at the same institution. In 2003, he was appointed to a professorship and later head of department from 2007 to 2009.[4]

His research work deals primarily with engine and vehicle emissions testing and modeling, and he has carried out a wide range of projects on modeling emissions from internal combustion engines.[5] In recent years, he has more broadly focused on sustainable energy[6] and experimental techniques for testing of exhaust emissions.

In the past two decades he has led multiple research projects with LAT, involving the European Commission.[7][8][9][10] Moreover, the Greek state has made use of technology developed by the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics and Zissis Samaras.[11]

He is the Vice Chair of European Road Transport Research Advisory Council.[12] Since 2021, he has been the co-ordinator of European Commission's fuel consumption project Mile21.[13]

Education

[edit]

He received his BSc/MSc and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.[14][1]

Published work

[edit]

Samaras has authored and co-authored more than 300 scientific publications to date.[15][16]
