Design of Enhanced Heat Transfer Surfaces through Novel Methods of Design and Manufacturing

当我第一次在热力学课程的第三学期参加一个实验课程时，我设计了我们自己的实验来测量涡轮机的压力和温度下降，我意识到我的兴趣所在。从那以后，我在热力学（I & II）、传热（I & II）、流体力学（I & II）等课程中积累了丰富的实验经验，我相信我能很好地为我申请的项目设计和执行所需的实验程序。在这些实验课程中，我们经常在研究生或高级研究员的指导下单独或小组工作，这帮助我培养了团队合作和人际交往能力。在Dionissios Margaris教授的指导下，我完成了我的毕业论文“通过自然通风口和诱导通风口-格栅的空气流动实验研究”，这让我在实验室工作和合作方面有了更多的经验。实验持续了8个月，我每天工作10个小时。毕业后，我开始寻找合适的博士机会，因为我在实验室里度过了很多时间，我意识到我对研究的热爱。

When I first attended a laboratory session during the 3rd semester of my studies on the course of Thermodynamics I, designing our own experiments to measure pressure and temperature drop on turbines I realized where my interests lay. Due to the significant laboratory experience I have gained since then, such as in the courses of Thermodynamics (I & II), Heat transfer (I & II), Fluid mechanics (I & II), I believe I would competently design and execute needed experimental procedures for the project I am applying for. In these laboratory sessions we used to work both individually and in groups, mentored by postgraduate students or senior researchers, which helped me develop my teamwork and interpersonal skills. I got even more experienced in laboratory work and cooperation while working on my diploma thesis on "Experimental study on air flow through natural and induced ventilation ports - grilles" which was supervised by professor Dionissios Margaris. The experiment lasted eight months where I worked for ten hours a day. Right after graduating, I started looking for suitable PhD opportunities as I had realized my love for research, having spent so many hours in the laboratory.
