Konstantin Aravossis

Konstantin Aravossis is a full-time Professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), School of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Industrial Management and Operational Research. He also serves as Secretary General for Natural Environment and Water at Greece's Ministry for Environment and Energy. Additional affiliations include Adjunct Researcher at Columbia University's Earth Engineering Center since 2015 and Visiting Professor at Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy.

• Education: PhD in Operations Research (NTUA, 1992), MSc in Management Science (Imperial College London, 1987), and Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Technical University of Aachen, 1986)

Research Focus: Combines engineering economics with environmental planning through advanced analytical tools like risk management, life cycle analysis, and multicriteria decision-making. Key applications include hazardous material dispersion modeling, sustainable energy systems, and municipal waste strategies. His computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work with PHOENICS® software enables urban environmental hazard prediction.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2019) emphasize circular economy applications in LNG supply chains, disability inclusion in waste recycling, and climate-resilient energy transitions. Earlier work (2017-2011) covers urban development risk analysis, indoor pollution modeling, and mining site remediation techniques. His 2010 research on carbon trading remains foundational.

Leadership Roles: Currently coordinates NTUA's Environmental Economics and Sustainability Unit, serves as Vice President of Imperial College Alumni Association, and contributes to university governance through multiple Senate committees and technical councils.
