Panagiota Angeli is a Greek engineer who is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London. Her research considers experimental and digital analysis of multi-phase flows. She is committed to making engineering more inclusive, and led a successful application for a gold Athena SWAN award. She was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2025.
Angeli is from Greece. She became interested in science at a young age, and specifically enjoyed using science to solve complex problems.[1] She studied chemical engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, where she remained as a Research Assistant. She moved to the United Kingdom for her doctoral research, where she worked on multiphase flows at Imperial College London.[1] At Imperial, she became interested in two-phase liquid systems, which was relevant to the oil and gas industry. She was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship, and started work on process intensification. Her fellowship looked to separate metals for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing.[1]
Research and career
Angeli is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London, having joined the department in 1996, and was awarded an Esso Fellowship in 1998.[citation needed] She looks to understand how small scale interactions impact the behaviour of complex flows. She examines how surfactants and non-Newtonian rheologies impact microdrop formation, and the optimimum composition of complex formulations.[2] Angeli combines advanced characterisation techniques, AI data-driven simulations and digital tools to understand multiphase flows.[3] Angeli is interested in metals recycling and the treatment of electronic waste.[1]
Academic service
Angeli led the Department of Chemical Engineering's successful application for a gold Athena SWAN award.[3][4][5]
