Dr Savvas Gkantonas is a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Savvas has developed key expertise for performing high-fidelity and low-order numerical simulations of turbulent reacting flows and has worked on a range of fundamental and practical problems relevant to gas turbine combustion systems using either conventional or low-carbon fuels. Part of his work has been integrated into the design methods of Rolls Royce, Siemens Energy and the UK Aerospace Technology Institute. His research interests extend to wildfire modelling, atmospheric dispersion of pollutants, system-level analyses for hydrogen and ammonia usage in the maritime environment, and ways to predict and reduce airborne disease transmission risk. He is an author or co-author of more than 40 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Born in 1992, Savvas holds a PhD from Cambridge and a double degree in engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Centrale Supélec. He is the recipient of a British Flame and an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) best paper award.
