معرفی
Professor Georgios Georgiou holds a faculty position at the University of Cyprus (UCY) within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, part of the School of Natural and Applied Sciences. He earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan (1989) and has over 30 years of research experience in computational rheology, fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, and oceanography. He returned to Cyprus in 1992 as a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics and was promoted to Professor in 2004. His leadership includes founding the Oceanographic Center at UCY (2003) and serving as its Interim Director (2003-2014) and first Director (2015-2019). He has coordinated over 30 research projects (€2M+ for UCY), published 130+ peer-reviewed articles, authored a Fluid Dynamics textbook, and edited four conference proceedings. His teaching spans multiple universities globally, including the Universities of Michigan, Patras, and Crete. He has served as a guest editor for rheological journals and a reviewer for over 120 scientific publications.

Research Interests: Computational rheology focuses on viscoelastic flow simulations and finite element methods. His fluid dynamics work includes pressure-driven flow modeling of non-Newtonian fluids. Oceanographic studies emphasize numerical methods and interdisciplinary applications.
Publications Overview: Recent articles explore dementia risk factors (depressive symptoms, genetic predisposition), long-COVID impacts, and neuroinflammatory mechanisms linked to Alzheimer’s disease. His work bridges computational fluid dynamics with emerging neurology and public health challenges.
Awards: None explicitly stated in the text.
Grants & Advising: Over 30 European/national projects coordinated or collaborated on. No student advising list provided.
Labs/Teams: Pioneered the Oceanographic Center at UCY, evolving it into a key research unit of the School of Natural and Applied Sciences.
