Emeel Kerikous

Dr. Emeel Kerikous is a Researcher and Ph.D. candidate at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg's Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics (ISUT). He joined the institute in 2016 for doctoral studies and advanced to Research Associate in December 2022. His academic foundation includes Bachelor's (2008) and Master's (2013) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Helwan University, Egypt, where his thesis pioneered hybrid valve design.

His research explores critical areas in energy and fluid systems:

• Valve performance optimization and flow control mechanisms
• Hydraulic and hydrokinetic turbine technology
• Experimental fluid dynamics and thermodynamics
• Renewable energy conversion systems

His publications center on experimental fluid mechanics, particularly valve technology with applications in energy systems. Key research demonstrates innovations in variable-performance hydraulic systems.

Academic honors include:

• Joint Supervision PhD Scholarship (Egyptian Government, 2016)

He conducts research at the Laboratory of Fluid Dynamics and Technical Flows, focusing on fundamental and applied thermofluid challenges.
