Biography and education

Moussiopoulos was born on January 1, 1956,[4] in Athens, Greece. After graduating from the German School of Athens in 1973,[5] he attended the Universität Karlsruhe (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT) from 1973 to 1978, studying mechanical engineering.[1] Prior to his graduation from KIT, he had a research stay at the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium.[6] He completed his doctoral studies on transport phenomena at the Universität Karlsruhe in 1982.[1][5]

Career

After completing his doctoral studies, he started lecturing at the Universität Karlsruhe, where he led a research group that developed mathematical model systems to describe air pollutant dispersion and transformation.[7] From 1986 to 1987, he also worked as a lecturer at the Gesamthochschule of Kassel.[1] In 1988 he received the Gerhard Hess Award of the German Research Association.[8] After the completion of his postdoctoral lecture qualification ("Habilitation"), he was appointed Full Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.[9]

Since 1990 he was also the head of this university's Sustainability Engineering Laboratory, formerly Laboratory of Heat Transfer and Environmental Engineering.[10] In addition, since 1996 he is an honorary professor at KIT's School of Mechanical Engineering.[11] In the periods 1997–1999 and 2003–2007, he chaired Aristotle University's School of Mechanical Engineering.[12] From 2006 until 2010 he was the dean of the university's Faculty of Engineering.[1][13] In 2008 he received the Aristotle University's Excellence and Innovation Award.[1] In the periods 2014–2017 and 2019–2021, he was the head of the Energy Department, School of Mechanical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.[14]

From October 2010 until March 2016, Moussiopoulos served as the vice president of the International Hellenic University and dean of its School of Economics & Business Administration (until 2013).[15]

Moussiopoulos was a consultant of the Greek minister Stefanos Manos,[16] and represented Greece in numerous international committees.[17] He is also an occasional columnist for various Greek mainstream newspapers like Ta Nea and To Vima.[18][19]

Since 2002 he is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.[20] In the same year he was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.[21] In 2012 the Royal Society appointed him associate editor of Philosophical Transactions A.[22] In the period 2015-2018, Moussiopoulos was the General Secretary of the Hellenic Chapter of the Club of Rome.[23] From June 2018 until April 2021 he was an elected member of the Scientific Council of the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation, responsible for Engineering and Technology Sciences.[24] August 2019 he was appointed consultant to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development[25] on waste management issues in Greece. Since October 2021 he is elected vice president of the Hellenic Solid Waste Management Association,[26] responsible for international relations.
