Konstantinos Anastasakis serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University, Denmark. His research focuses on sustainable conversion of biomass and waste streams into energy and value-added products through advanced thermochemical processes.
His primary research domains include:
- Bioenergy Systems: Specializing in hydrothermal liquefaction and pyrolysis for bio-oil/biogas production
- Wastewater Valorization: Developing integrated systems for sewage sludge conversion in treatment plants
- Process Optimization: Utilizing Aspen Plus and systems engineering for biorefinery design
- Sustainable Technology Assessment: Conducting techno-economic analyses of emerging bioenergy pathways
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a strategic shift toward integrated process design, particularly combining hydrothermal liquefaction with wet oxidation for autothermal biorefineries. His work demonstrates strong emphasis on practical implementation, scalability, and economic viability across chemical engineering, environmental science, and renewable energy disciplines.
Dr. Anastasakis has supervised one PhD student and secured significant research funding through:
- ELHYOs Project (2020-2022): Electrochemical Hydrogenation of biO-crude as Participant
- Hydrate Promoters Project (2023-2025): CO2 capture technology development as Co-PI
His collaborative approach is evident through conference leadership (e.g., Session 9 on System Integration at May 2024 events) and supervision of three specialized courses in reactor modeling, biogas upgrading, and power-to-X systems.
