About

Chrysanthos Gounaris is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He received a Dipl. in Chemical Engineering in 2002 and an M.Sc. in Process Control in 2003 from the National Technical University of Athens. He then earned an M.A. in 2005 and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 2008 from Princeton University, where his doctoral thesis focused on advances in global optimization and the rational design of shape-selective separations, exploring nonlinear modeling and global optimization techniques in porous materials. After completing his Ph.D., Gounaris worked as an associate at McKinsey & Co., providing strategic and operational consulting to petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods companies. He returned to academia for postdoctoral research at Princeton University from 2010 to 2013 before joining Carnegie Mellon University as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. His research interests include advanced process decision-making, AI, energy and climate, carbon management, chemical engineering, energy production, decarbonization, sustainability, industrial decarbonization and efficiency, materials science, multiscale modeling, nanomaterials, operations research, process optimization, process systems engineering, systems modeling, and transportation systems.
