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

在我学习热力学I课程的第三学期，当我第一次参加实验室会议，设计我们自己的实验来测量涡轮机的压力和温降时，我意识到我的兴趣所在。由于我从那以后获得了丰富的实验室经验，如热力学(I&II)、传热学(I&II)、流体力学(I&II)等课程，我相信我能胜任为我申请的项目设计和执行所需的实验程序。在这些实验室课程中，我们过去常常在研究生或资深研究人员的指导下，单独和小组合作，这帮助我发展了团队合作和人际交往能力。在Dionissios Margaris教授的指导下，我在实验室工作和合作方面获得了更多的经验，当时我正在撰写我的毕业论文《自然和诱导通风口-格栅中空气流动的实验研究》。这项实验持续了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，因为我意识到了我对研究的热爱，花了这么多时间在实验室里。

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.
