Alexandros Arsalis is a Special Scientist (Research) at the FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy. He holds a PhD degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from Aalborg University, Denmark (2012), an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA (2007), a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA (2004) and a Diploma in Marine Engineering from HTI, Cyprus (1999). His PhD study was supported with a fully-funded PhD fellowship from Aalborg University and the Danish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Academy, and was completed in collaboration with the industry (Danfoss & Dantherm Power).

After his studies, he worked as a Postdoctoral RA at Aalborg University, Denmark. He has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed papers in scientific Journals and Conference Proceedings and participated in several funded research projects. His research Interests include the application of advanced methodological approaches (e.g. exergy analysis; thermoeconomic modeling; pinch analysis and process integration; genetic algorithm optimization) for the design, modeling and optimization of novel energy systems based on fuel cell technology, hydrogen-generation-storage-and-utilization, heat and refrigeration cycles, photovoltaics, etc.
