Epaminondas ("Nondas") Mastorakos is the Hopkinson / ICI Professor of Applied Thermodynamics (1950) at the Engineering Department. His research interests revolve around combustion, from both a fundamental and a practical viewpoint. He has experience with both experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), especially in the fields of chemical mechanism reduction, turbulent reacting flow experimentation and modelling, ignition and extinction of flames, spray flames, gas turbine and diesel engine combustion, and combustion in porous media. He has also worked on atmospheric chemistry and dispersion of pollutants. He is co-author of two books, he is Associate Editor of "Combustion and Flame", and holds patents on syngas production and radiant burners. He has acted as consultant to various industries in the engines and energy area and is currently Research Coordinator for Combustion in the Rolls-Royce / Cambridge University Gas Turbine Partnership.

Teaching

Nondas Mastorakos takes care of the Thermofluids teaching for Fitz engineers, which includes Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, and Thermodynamics. In the Engineering Department, he participates in the courses Environmental Fluid Mechanics (4A8), Turbulence (4A12), and Turbulent Reacting Flows (5R10), and is the Course Director of the MPhil in Energy Technologies, where he also teaches Clean Coal Combustion. He also participates in the Exposition class for first-year Engineering undergraduates.
