Yiotis Andreas

Professor Andreas Yiotis is an Associate Professor at the School of Mineral Resources Engineering at the Technical University of Crete (TUC), Greece. His research focuses on theoretical and numerical modeling of transport processes in porous media, including multiphase flows in geologic formations, with applications in Enhanced Oil Recovery, Soil Remediation, and CO2 sequestration. He leads projects involving pore-scale modeling, microfluidic experiments, and high-performance computing. Notable collaborations include work with Prof. Dominique Salin (CNRS), Prof. Yanis Yortsos (USC), and Prof. Ruben Juanes (MIT).

His team operates the Environmental Research Laboratory, equipped with a 240-core supercomputing cluster for parallel simulations in environmental modeling and molecular dynamics. Recent work includes studies on ganglia dynamics, blob population behavior in porous media, and nanofluid dielectric properties for power transformers. He has advised doctoral students such as Ioannis Zarikos (PhD defense 2018) and Dimitri [surname unspecified].

Research emphasizes bridging pore-scale phenomena to macroscopic behavior, using lattice Boltzmann methods and pore network models. Key contributions include experimental validation of 3D porous media micromodels and analysis of immiscible flow dynamics in heterogeneous domains. His work has been presented at conferences like INTERPORE and featured in interdisciplinary short courses on microfluidics.
