Efstathios (Stathis) Michaelides

Efstathios (Stathis) Michaelides is the W.A. "Tex" Moncrief, Jr. Founding Chair of Engineering at Texas Christian University (TCU). He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Engineering Science from Brown University (1980, 1979) and a B.A. in Engineering Science and Economics from Oxford University (1977). His research focuses on advanced energy systems, multiphase flow, and renewable energy transitions.

• Ph.D., Engineering Science, Brown University, 1980
• M.S., Engineering Science, Brown University, 1979
• B.A., Engineering Science and Economics, Oxford University, England, 1977

Michaelides' work spans energy conversion, geothermal systems, nanofluidics, and particle-fluid dynamics. His recent publications analyze energy storage requirements for renewable transitions, drag force correlations in complex flows, and thermodynamic implications of carbon sequestration.

His research trends include decarbonization strategies, nanoparticle-enhanced phase transitions, and smart microfluidic systems. He has also contributed to foundational texts like Particles, Bubbles and Drops (2006) and the Multiphase Flow Handbook (2017).
