Athanasios Chasalevris

Athanasios Chasalevris is an Assistant Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), with research expertise in rotordynamics, tribology, and nonlinear machine dynamics. His work focuses on vibration control in turbomachinery, controllable bearings, and fault diagnostics in rotating systems.

• Doctor of Philosophy in Rotordynamics (University of Patras, 2009)
• Diploma in Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering (University of Patras, 2004)

Research interests include:

• Linear/Nonlinear Rotordynamics of Turbines and Turbochargers
• Controllable Bearings (Oil/Gas/Magnetic) for Vibration Suppression
• Tribology: Hydrodynamic/Aerodynamic Bearing Performance
• Cracked Rotors and Fracture Mechanics
• Nonlinear Dynamics and Bifurcation Analysis

His recent work emphasizes the development of adjustable bearings for turbine systems, nonlinear stability assessment, and diagnostics of bearing wear and rotor cracks. Collaborations include institutions in Germany, the US, Iran, and Austria.

Scientific Awards:

• General Electric Co. 'Beyond and Ahead' Award (2017)
• Alexander Von Humboldt Fellowship (2010)
• Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) Award for Excellence (2004)

Athanasios supervises PhD and Master’s students, requiring expertise in dynamics, vibration theory, and programming (Matlab/Python). He teaches courses in dynamics of rotating machines, machine elements, and kinematics of mechanisms.
