Christos N. Markides  is Professor of Clean Energy Technologies in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Imperial College London, where he heads the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory, and leads the Energy & Environmental Engineering research theme  and the cross-faculty Energy Futures Lab Energy Infrastructure research theme. He is also, amongst other, the Editor-in-Chief of journal Applied Thermal Engineering, on the Editorial Board of the UK National Heat Transfer Committee, the Scientific Board of the UK Energy Storage SUPERGEN Hub, and is a member of the Assembly of World Conferences (AWC) on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics.

His current research interests focus primarily on the application of fundamental principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer to innovative and high-performance energy components, devices, technologies and systems for energy (heat, power, cooling) recovery, utilisation, conversion and storage, with emphasis on the efficient and cost-effective utilisation of renewable and waste heat, and solar energy. He recently co-founded and is an acting Director of Imperial College London spin-out company Solar Flow, whose aim is to commercialise a promising hybrid solar technology that won IChemE’s Global award for “Best Research Project” (2018).
