Alexandros Terzis joined the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion in 2020. His research focuses on thermal-fluid science and engineering, and transport phenomena across scales (micro to macro), with applications in energy conversion, propulsion systems, and aircraft performance under challenging environmental conditions.
He serves as Associate Editor of the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, is a member of the Assembly of the World Conferences on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, co-founder of the Israel InterPore National Chapter, and a steering committee member of the Biennial Symposium on Measuring Techniques in Turbomachinery.
Before joining Technion, he was a postdoc at Stanford University (2019–2020), jointly appointed at the Stanford Microfluidics and NanoHeat Labs; a Humboldt Research Fellow at the Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics, University of Stuttgart (2016–2018); and a research associate in the Group of Thermal Turbomachinery at EPFL (2014–2016). He also worked as an invited researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2017 and 2018) and Utrecht University (2016).
Alexandros Terzis received a PhD from EPFL (2014). He holds an MSc from Cranfield University (2010), and a Diploma (5-year degree) in Mechanical Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2008). He also completed the Stanford Ignite Executive Education (ExEd) program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (2020).
