Research Interests

Dr. Tomadakis’ expertise is in the development of computer simulation algorithms for estimating transport and structural properties of porous and composite materials, and in the mathematical modeling of mass and energy transport and reaction in chemical systems. Current focus is mainly on fiber-reinforced composites and fibrous media used as preforms in Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI), modeling transport and reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), and investigating experimentally the separation of biogas through pressure-swing adsorption in molecular sieves.
