Biography

Vasileios Kitsikoudis joined the University of Twente as an Assistant Professor in the summer of 2020. His research primarily focuses on flow-body interaction and the way turbulence affects flows and sediment transport in rivers and estuaries. He is interested in the fundamental hydrodynamic processes that define the intertwined relationship between sediment and biota, conducting interdisciplinary studies within the context of environmental fluid mechanics and ecohydraulics. His approach is mainly experimental, involving both field and laboratory research. Prior to his position at the University of Twente, he researched urban hydraulics and carried out studies at various institutions including the University of Liege in Belgium, and the University of Central Florida in the USA, where he participated in flow-body-sediment interaction laboratory flume experiments. He has also collaborated with Istanbul Technical University in Turkey and the University of Glasgow in the UK, developing machine learning models for sediment transport and flow resistance in rivers. Throughout his career, Vasileios has developed a keen focus on enhancing understanding of complex hydraulic systems.
