Alexandros Daniilidis is an assistant professor of Geothermal Engineering at TU Delft. He has a geology background with studies in energy systems and infrastructure planning. Alexandros obtained his PhD on the energy and economic performance of geothermal systems.  He has obtained his PhD at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) on the energy and economic analysis of geothermal systems for heat production.

He specializes in field development and uncertainty quantification of combined surface and subsurface uncertainties in direct-use geothermal systems. His interests include using reservoir simulations to study interference between subsurface activities, as well as the hydraulic impact of faults and their properties on geothermal energy production in different geological settings.

research interest

In his research Alexandros uses insights from geology, physics, statistics, reservoir engineering and programming and tries to answer the following questions:

• How can we better use geothermal resources in terms of energy and economic output?
• How does geothermal energy impact other subsurface activities?
• How can geothermal energy contribute to a sustainable energy supply?
