Dr. Ioannis Zacharoudiou

Biography

Position:Senior Researcher

Dr. Ioannis Zacharoudiou is a physicist with a strong foundation in both theory and computational methods. He received his BSc in Physics from the University of Cyprus and his PhD in Physics at the University of Oxford. Following his doctorate, he held postdoctoral research positions at Imperial College London and University College London.

Throughout his career, he has developed deep expertise in fluid mechanics and soft condensed matter, with a particular focus on numerical simulation techniques. He has extensive experience on the use of the Lattice Boltzmann method for multiphase‐flow modeling and leveraged GPU programming (CUDA C/C++, HIP and Intel’s oneAPI) to accelerate complex scientific algorithms.

His current research interests encompass:

Multiphase flow in porous media

Soft matter and complex fluids

Geological CO₂ sequestration

High-performance computer simulations, including the free‐energy Lattice Boltzmann method and GPU-accelerated numerical methods

Blood flow modeling

Ioannis combines rigorous physical insight with cutting-edge computational tools to advance our understanding of complex fluid systems.
