He served as the Grand Marshall at the Florida Tech Spring Commencement Ceremonies in 1999. Dr. Tomadakis has authored a number of technical publications that have earned more than 800 citations by other authors, in over 450 journal articles reporting research conducted in more than 300 institutions in 36 countries around the world.

研究领域

Dr. Tomadakis expertise is in the development of computer simulation algorithms for estimating transport and structural properties of porous and composite materials, and in the mathematical modeling of mass and energy transport and reaction in chemical systems. Current focus is mainly on fibrous media with applications in advanced materials processing, fuel cell technology and biomedical engineering, modeling transport and reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), and investigating experimentally the separation of biogas through pressure-swing adsorption in molecular sieves.
