Biography
Eleftherios Ioannou holds a PhD in Computational Physics from the University of Cambridge where he worked on high speed flows in multi-material configurations under the supervision of Professor Nikolaos Nikiforakis.
He previously obtained an MPhil in Scientific Computing from the University of Cambridge and a BSc in Physics from the Univeristy of Athens, Greece.
Research
His research focuses on mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of multiphase reactive flows and elastic-plastic solids.
He has worked on the analysis and extension of multiphase models and on the implementation of numerical algorithms for their solution. These have been used to
study a range of applications in the area of high speed flows such as cavity collapse, detonation propagation and interaction with inert fluids and solids.
