BIO

Serafim Kalliadasis leads the Complex Multiscale Systems Group of Imperial College (IC).

 

He was appointed to Readership in Fluid Mechanics at the Chemical Engineering Department of IC in 07/2004 and was promoted to Professor in Engineering Science & Applied Mathematics in 10/2010.

 

His expertise is on the interface between Applied and Computational Mathematics, Complex Systems and Engineering Science, covering both applications and fundamentals.

 

Over 2004-2009 he held an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship, in 2010 he was awarded an ERC Advanced Investigator Grant and in 2023 he was awarded an ERC Advanced Investigator Grant/UKRI Frontier Research Horizon Europe Guarantee. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, Fellow of the Institute of Physics and Corporate Member and Fellow of the IChemE.

 

The APS Fellowship citation reads:

 

“For pioneering and rigorous contributions to fundamental fluid dynamics, particularly interfacial flows and dynamics of moving contact lines, statistical mechanics of inhomogeneous liquids, and coarse graining of complex multiscale systems.”
