Summary

Ioanna Vassiliadou is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Western Macedonia since May 2023. She is a graduate (2004) from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management of University of Ioannina and she obtained a degree equivalent to the Diploma of the Department of Environmental Engineering of the Polytechnic School, University of Patras (Greece). She holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management of the University of Ioannina (2008).
She has worked as a researcher and instructor in three countries (Greece, Spain, Italy) and six university institutions. Dr. Vasiliadou has worked at the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Patras (2008-2010), the Materials Science and Engineering and Chemical Engineering Department of the University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain (2011-2012), the Chemical and Environmental Technology Department of the University Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid, Spain (2012-2014, 2017-2018), the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Alcalá, Spain (2017-2018), the Engineering and Architecture Department of the University of Trieste, Italy (2016), and the Departments of Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace (2018-2023).
Her research interests are i) Water and wastewater biological treatment, ii) Bio-electrochemical systems, iii) Resources and energy recovery from wastes, iv) Colloidal transport in porous media, v) Mathematical modelling.
She has participated in 10 research programs and has received 5 individual fellowships, from Greek and foreign agencies, for postdoctoral research. Among them, she was awarded as principal researcher with the “MARIE CURIE ACTIONS – Intra European Fellowships (IEF) for career development” and with the International excellence campus SMART ENERGY program (Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, Spain). Her scientific work includes 44 articles in scientific journals (citations: 1440, h-index: 22), 2 book chapters and 35 announcements in international conferences. She is a reviewer in 40 scientific journals and member of scientific proposal evaluation committees of the National Research Organizations of France, Spain, South Africa and the Netherlands.
In 2018, her paper (doi: 10.3389/fenrg.2018. 00107) on bioelectrochemical production of hydrogen was nominated at the World Technology Awards (Environment) and won the international Katerva 2020 People’s Choice award. She has taught in Engineering Departments of different university institutions (University of Patras, DUTH, UOWM, Carlos III University, Rey Juan Carlos University) in three languages (Greek, English, Spanish). For her teaching at Carlos III University (Spain) which took place in the English language, she received praise based on students’ evaluation.
