Panos Papanastasiou is Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and founding member of Phaethon Research CoE on Intelligent, Efficient and Sustainable Energy Solutions of the University of Cyprus. Ηe served as the founding Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering from 2002-2008 and the founding director of the Program of Architecture from 2004-2006. He served also as Dean of the Engineering School from 2009-2014. He is also the founding director of the Program Master in Natural Gas Engineering. He is member of the academic council and research partner of the Interantional Water Reserch Center (Nireas). He received his first degree in Civil Engineering from the NTU of Athens in 1984 and his M.Sc in 1986 and Ph.D in 1990 in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota. He worked more than 15 years in the Oil & Gas industry in the Research Center of Schlumberger in Cambridge, England from 1991 to 2002 and as consultant to Schlumberger in U.K. and Russia from 2002-2007. From 2011-2017 was Advisor to the Government of Cyprus on Hydrocarbon exploration and development and gas monetization options. From 2019 is a member of the board of directors of Cyprus Hydrocarbon Company (CHC). He has published 83 articles in scientific journals, more than 110 articles in conference proceedings and book chapters, he organized 5 international conferences and edited 6 conference proceedings and books. He invented 3 patents and wrote more than 50 industrial reports in the field of Petroleum Engineering. He is Editor-in Chief of journal Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment (Elsevier), and Associate Editor for the journal Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (Springer). He is in the Stanford University list that identified the top 2% of scientists worldwide in the areas of Geosciences, Energy, Engineering.
