Mitrakos Dimitris

Dimitris Mitrakos is an Associate Professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), School of Mechanical Engineering, Section of Nuclear Engineering, holding this position since 2024 after serving as Assistant Professor from 2019 to 2024.

His academic credentials:

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Greece (2009)
• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Greece (2003)

His research centers on nuclear and radiological safety, including accident phenomenology, impact analysis, and protection strategies. He conducts experimental investigations of multiphase flows, rewetting phenomena, and Critical Heat Flux, while applying CFD/CMFD methodologies to nuclear safety scenarios. His work extends to nuclear aerosol behavior, particulate flow computations involving phase changes (nucleation, condensation, evaporation), and atmospheric dispersion modeling of radioactive materials.

He teaches undergraduate courses including 'Set-up and Operation of Nuclear Power Reactors', 'Nuclear Power Reactors Thermal-Hydraulics and Multiphase Flows', and 'Environment and radiation', alongside postgraduate courses 'Advanced nuclear reactors' and 'Environmental radioactivity analysis and protection'.
