Dr. Eleni Koronaki has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (1999). For excellence in her undergraduate studies she was awarded a Scholarship from the Technical Chamber of Greece. In 2004 she received a PhD from the same institution under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Boudouvis (NTUA) and Prof. Yannis Kevrekidis (Princeton University). Her research focused on efficient solution of large scale nonlinear systems for which she was awarded a scholarship from the State Scholarship Foundation of Greece(2000-2004). In 2002 she received a scholarship under the EUROPA program for further training on High Performance Computing at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Center (EPCC) in the University of Edinburgh.

Her current research objectives lie in the area of nonlinear analysis of realistic applications. Of particular interest is to take full advantage of state-of-the-art commercial codes for the simulation of transport phenomena (ANSYS/Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics) and enhance their capabilities in order to perform nonlinear and stability analysis. Ultimately the goal is to relate the nonlinearity of a system with the characteristics and the quality of the actual end-product of a process.
