Fostering Collaboration with Prof. Dr. Manousos Valyrakis

We were honored to host Prof. Dr. Manousos Valyrakis from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki for a week of productive experimental work. During his visit, the flume experiments were conducted in the laboratory, focused on collecting hydrodynamic data associated with incipient motion of the innovative SmartSphere, a tool he developed to advance understanding of coarse grain dynamics.

Prof. Valyrakis’ research focuses on the development of novel advances in experimental methods, instrumentation and sensors for measuring hydrodynamic flow parameters and sediment transport.

Our longstanding collaboration with Prof. Valyrakis has been a cornerstone of success, resulting in joint publications, journal special issues, and impactful conference sessions. These achievements highlight the value of fostering strong academic partnerships.

We look forward to more collaborative milestones in RISED Laboratory in the future!
