Dr. Anthoula Manali
Chemist, M.Sc., Ph.D
Dr. Anthoula Manali is a Chemist, holding a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. from the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete (TUC). She is also involved, as environmental researcher, in the European Research LIFE Programme “New concept for energy self-sustainable wastewater treatment process and biosolids management, LIFE B2E4 SUSTAINABLE-WWTP”. Her research interests are focused on wastewater reuse, water reclamation, biosolids conversion into energy, and constructed wetlands.
During 2015-2017, she has participated in the following research projects: “Development and application of integrated technological and management solutions for wastewater treatment and efficient reuse in agriculture tailored to the needs of Mediterranean African Countries, MADFORWATER’’, “Integrated Biotechnological Solutions for Combating Marine Oil Spills, KILLSPILL’’, and “Industrial Applications of Marine Enzymes, INMARE’’.
Also, within 2018 and 2019 she has been working as teaching and laboratory assistant to the courses of “Design of Environmental Plants and Environmental Impact Assessment I & II", Prof. Petros Gikas, School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, TUC (academic scholarship).

Georgios Makaroglou
PhD candidate, Environmental Engineer
Georgios Makaroglou, is an Environmental Engineer graduated from the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the Technical University of Crete. He then continued his studies in the same School, where up until today he is a PhD student in the field of Environmental Engineering. The subject of his thesis is on microalgae cultivation in photo-bioreactors and his work is funded by the Research Programme “Bioconversion of CO2 into High-added Value Bioproducts through Sustainable Microalgae Cultivation Processes, CO2-BioProducts”. The research programme is being co-financed by the Greek Government and the European Union, under the operational programme “COMPETITIVENESS, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INNOVATION”. His research interests are focused on microalgae cultivation (photo-bioreactors, optimization, CO2 and exhaust fumes sequestration, bioconversion into high-added value bioproducts), wastewater treatment and reuse, design of environmental processes and environmental impact assessment. He has published 1 scientific article and he has presented his findings in 4 national and international conferences.
Furthermore, Georgios Makaroglou has gained teaching experience as a teaching assistant to the courses “Design of Environmental Plants and Environmental Impact Assessment I&II", which are lectured by Prof. Petros Gikas in the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete.

Tsamoutsoglou Konstantinos
PhD candidate, Environmental Engineer
Konstantinos Tsamoutsoglou, was born on 28/06/1996 in Chania. During 2014-2020, he studied Environmental Engineering at the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete. His bachelor thesis was on the “Μass and energy balances of novel system for the exploitation of the energy content of biosolids through gasification”. The scope of his thesis was to assess the sustainability and energy self-sufficiency of a novel system for the exploitation of the energy content of biosolids through gasification, as well as to calculate the mass and energy balances with the view of protecting the environment.
From 2021, he is doing his PhD at the School of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete (Supervisor: Prof. Petros Gikas).
Konstantinos Tsamoutsoglou is currently working as laboratory assistant to the course of “Design of Environmental Plants and Environmental Impact Assessment I", School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete.
