Dr. Stathis Kaliviotis was elected as Assistant Professor at the Cyprus University of Technology and joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering in Sept. 2014. Prior to his appointment at the Cyprus University of Technology he was a Lecturer in Engineering at King’s College London, University of London, from Aug.2009 to Aug.2013 and Post-Doctoral Research Associate from Feb. 2009 to Aug. 2009 in the same institution. He received his PhD in Biofluid Mechanics (Sept. 2005-Dec.-2008) and his Master in Engineering degree (MEng – First Class Honors, 2001-2005) at King’s College London. Dr Kaliviotis is a Honorary Senior Research Associate at the University College London, member of the advisory committee and Cyprus representative in the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, and member in other professional and academic bodies (IMechE-UK, TEE-Greece, British Society of Rheology). His research interests include rheology and micro-rheology, optical rheology and biorheology, flow in microchannels including blood flows, blood flow and endothelial cell interactions, etc. The results of his research seek to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of phenomena and bio-processes, such as intercellular attraction mechanisms and transport phenomena, as well as to find application in areas such as health (diagnosis and treatment for issues in the circulatory and microcirculatory system), development of lab-on-a-chip diagnostic systems, processes involving flows in the microscale, etc. Experimental apparatus include viscometers, optical shearing system, micro-flow imaging systems, etc.
