Dimitris Valougeorgis graduated with the Diploma of Mechanical Engineer from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1980, and then received the MS and Ph.D. In Mechanical Engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI & SU) in 1982 and 1985 respectively.
His research interests include the analytical and computational study of transport phenomena, gas theory kinetics, rarefied gas dynamics, total-differential equations (Boltzmann equation, and kinetic models) and the Lattice Boltzmann method with applications in Microelectronics, Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Vacuum Technology. He has also dealt with the sloshing phenomenon, with the fluid dynamics design and optimization of pipe networks and with specific issues of computational fluid dynamics.
