Dimitris Malamis

Dimitris Malamis is a Professor of Environmental Engineering at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, Brunel University London. He specializes in waste and wastewater management, resource recovery, and circular bioeconomy systems, with a focus on biorefinery technologies and sustainability frameworks.

• PhD, Environmental Engineering, National Technical University of Athens
• MSc and DIC, Environmental Technology, Imperial College London
• MEng, Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete

His research explores:

• Smart Biorefineries: Bioconversion techniques for waste/wastewater valorization into sustainable fuels, materials, and chemicals.
• Circular Bioeconomy: Integration of resource recovery, decarbonization, and environmental sustainability in waste management.
• Decarbonization Strategies: CO2 capture and reuse in waste/wastewater systems.
• Decision Support Systems: Tools for optimizing waste management technology selection and resilience.

His recent work spans biorefinery integration, wastewater resource recovery, and CO2 valorization. Publications include life cycle assessments of biorefinery systems, bioethanol production from food waste, and decentralized waste processing frameworks.

He has collaborated extensively with industry and research institutions, leading over 70 European/national projects as Coordinator/Principal Investigator. His academic contributions include over 70 peer-reviewed papers and 4 book chapters, with an h-index of 23 and 1300+ citations (Scopus).
