Dr.
Kilkis received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering with high
honors from Middle East Technical University and graduated in 1972
from von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium with Honors.
Dr. Kilkis has been working on heat transfer, unified heat transfer
theory, high-performance buildings, quantum mechanics, fluid
dynamics, heat pumps, energy strategies, hydrogen energy with
renewable energy systems, hydrogen cities, 5th generation Net-zero
exergy cities, district energy systems, aerodynamics, exergy
analysis, combined heat and power, tri-generation, green airports,
sustainable aviation, integrated solar PV systems, and energy
simulations. He is the co-author of a most recent book on
Cogeneration with Renewables. In total, he has published more than
600 papers in several journals and proceedings on a large variety of
topics. Since 1972, he has been the principal investigator of several
industrial projects, including a NATO Science for Stability project
on a de-centralized, co-generating 1.5 MW fluidized-bed power plant.
He had been a contractor to DOE, Morgantown Energy Technology Center
in West Virginia twice on fluidized bed heat transfer modeling.
Between 1998 and 1999, he acted as the project principal for snow
melting systems for Air Force bases, heat tracing of fighter jet
aircraft during freezing periods, and snow/ice melting of helicopter
pads on Navy Vessels. He taught at METU, Gannon University and
University of Missouri Rolla in the USA, and Baskent University.
Currently he is the Regional Distinguished Lecturer of ASHRAE and the
vice-chair, and WP 1 Leader in ETIP Renewable Heating and Cooling in
the European Union, Brussels.
