About Konstantinos Azis
Dr. Konstantinos Azis is an accomplished environmental engineer and postdoctoral researcher whose work focuses on advanced wastewater treatment technologies, membrane bioreactor systems, and intelligent process control for sustainable water management. His research integrates biological, physicochemical, and automated monitoring approaches to optimize the performance of aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic treatment processes, particularly in membrane systems and intermittently aerated bioreactors. He specializes in the design and operation of high-efficiency treatment units, development of real-time control strategies using programmable logic controllers, simulation-driven optimization with STOAT, and monitoring of key environmental parameters through continuous online sensors. His contributions extend to biological degradation studies of micropollutants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical contaminants, as well as post-treatment polishing processes such as activated carbon adsorption, sand filtration, ultrafiltration, and advanced oxidation. His research output demonstrates strong international visibility, with publications addressing membrane fouling mitigation, nutrient removal enhancement, biofouling dynamics, and energy-efficient aeration strategies. Dr. Azis has contributed significantly to environmental biotechnology by combining laboratory experimentation, field-scale evaluation, and computational modeling, offering practical solutions for water reuse and circular economy applications. His work has earned recognition through contributions to high-impact journals, service as a reviewer for numerous international scientific journals, and involvement as a Guest Editor in thematic issues focusing on sustainable wastewater treatment technologies.
