Dimitrios Fraggedakis

Dimitrios Fraggedakis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses on theoretical and computational approaches to electrochemical systems, with applications in energy storage and environmental sustainability.

• Education:
  • Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, MIT (2021)
  • Diploma/Engineering Degree, Chemical Engineering, University of Patras (2015)

His work investigates how structural and chemical disorder affects ion transport and electrochemical activity in devices like Li-ion batteries and CO2 capture systems. Using frameworks from non-equilibrium thermodynamics, stochastic processes, and quantum dynamics, he develops predictive models to enhance device performance and lifespan.

The Fraggedakis Research Group emphasizes interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. Recent publications highlight studies on glassy dynamics, coupled ion-electron transfer, and yield-stress fluids in complex media.

• Scientific Awards:
  • Miller Research Fellow (UC Berkeley, 2021-2024)
  • Postdoc Achievement Award (UC Berkeley, 2023)
  • Materials Research Society Silver Award (2020)
  • Limmat Stiftung Academic Excellence Award (2015)

His students include Kristjan Arnarsson (ion transport in dynamic confined spaces) and Gabrielle Dobkin (dynamic electrochemical interfaces). The group actively explores non-equilibrium material behavior through computational methodologies like finite element analysis and enhanced sampling techniques.
