About

Marios Kotsonis is a leading figure in experimental fluid dynamics, whose research bridges the gap between fundamental flow physics and transformative engineering applications. His work is centered on active flow control, plasma actuators, and the emerging field of fluid-structure interaction, with a particular focus on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators for aerodynamic manipulation. Kotsonis has made seminal contributions to understanding and controlling boundary layer transition, separation, and unsteady wake dynamics, often leveraging novel diagnostic techniques to reveal the intricate mechanisms at play. His highly cited work on "Metamaterials and Fluid Flows" (2026) explores how engineered materials can dynamically interact with fluid flows, opening new avenues for energy harvesting and adaptive structures. With over 4,000 citations to his name, Kotsonis's impact is evident across aerospace, naval, and renewable energy sectors. He has been recognized with multiple prestigious awards, including an ERC Starting Grant, and his research continues to inspire a new generation of engineers seeking to manipulate flows with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
