Current activities
Dr Vasileios Mathioudakis is currently working on a YorkShire Water funded project regarding the development of sustainable wastewater treatment works of the future, having consideration for current and future pressures. The project investigate alterations in the wastewater treatment processes in order to achieve high energy efficiency and low carbon emissions whilst still achieving high treatment efficiency as well as nutrient recovery.
Vasileios is focusing his research, in the framework of this project, on anaerobic membrane reactors.

Background
Dr Vasileios Mathioudakis attained his 5-year course degree in Environmental Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace in 2004. He also attained his PhD from the same University in 2010. Pre-graduate and post-graduate studies were focussed on wastewater management and treatment processes. His research was focused on microbial processes in sewer networks and more specifically in odour control in sewer networks.
During his PhD studies, he also participated in several research programs focusing in sewage treatment, biosolid management and sewer odour control.
