Then, in 2015, I came back to VKI to work as a re- search engineer, a position that I kept until April of this year, when I was happily promoted to assistant profes- sor. But I never really left MKOPSC since I have been an adjunct faculty member there since 2016 and still cur- rently mentor five PhD students. At VKI, my research interests are related to safety by DELPHINE LABOUREUR, DC 2007 and industrial processes.

But my love for VKI and research was too strong, so I came back and started a PhD funded by the "Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique" (CEA) in Gramat, France, on experimental characterization and modeling of hazards: BLEVE and Boilover. During that PhD, I performed laboratory scale experiments of BLEVE, acronym for "Boiling Liquid Ex- panding Vapour Explosion" and Boilover (an explosive phenomenon occurring during the fight against hydro- carbon fires), to better understand the criteria for ap- pearance and consequences of these accidents. I also modeled the phenomena and their hazards based on comparison of the experimental results with literature models. After graduating from the Université Libre de Brux- elles in 2012, I worked one year as a postdoc in VKI working on optimization of industrial processes for Delphine Laboureur, after successful field test and then Michelin, and then left VKI another time to work as presenting results at a conference a research assistant at the Mary Kay O’Connor Pro- cess Safety Center (MKOPSC) at Texas A&M University.

  • Design and Analysis of a Light Cargo Uav Prototype
    4th ANSA & μETA International Conference DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A LIGHT CARGO UAV PROTOTYPE 1Anastasios P. Kovanis*, 2Vangelis Skaperdas, 3John A. Ekaterinaris 1Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics Department, School of Engineering, University of Patras, 26500, Patras, Greece 2Engineer, BETA CAE Systems S.A., Thessaloniki, Greece 3Professor, Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics Department, School of Engineering, University of Patras, 26500, Patras, and FORTH/IACM, Greece, Associate Fellow AIAA KEYWORDS - UAV, aerodynamics, design, cfd, analysis ABSTRACT - A light cargo unmanned air vehicle (UAV) was designed, constructed, and tested in flight. This UAV was designed and build according to the specifications of the Air Cargo Challenge 2009 Design, Build & Fly European student competition. The basic aerodynamic and stability analysis that was used in the preliminary phase of the light UAV design are presented. Flight stability analysis was based on the linearized theory. The preliminary aerodynamic analysis was based on Navier-Stokes solutions for wing and wing- body configurations. The conceptual design was constructed and successfully tested. Further aerodynamic analysis for the full configuration was carried out to evaluate the performance during the flight envelope. The findings of this analysis could be utilized to further improve the aerodynamics of the existing design, and enhance stability and performance characteristics of the light cargo UAV. TECHNICAL PAPER 1. INTRODUCTION The technology of large and small unmanned air vehicles (UAV’s) is rapidly emerging in the European countries and the US. Te design principles for UAV’s are similar to the principles developed over the years and used successfully for the design of commercial and general purpose aircraft. The size of UAV varies according to the purpose of their utility.
