Zissis Samaras is Full Professor and Director of the Lab of Applied Thermodynamics (LAT), Dept.

of Mechanical Engineering, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece. His research work deals

primarily with engine and vehicle emissions testing and modeling and he has carried out a wide

range of projects on modeling emissions from internal combustion engines. Dr. Samaras was

involved in the development, testing and large-scale evaluation of Diesel particulate filters. He was

vice chairman of the management committee of COST action 319 on the Estimation of Exhaust Gas

Emissions and for many years co-Leader on behalf of the European Environment Agency of the

Topic Group "Mobile Sources" of the UN-ECE Task Force on Emission Inventories. He

coordinated or co-led number of large European projects, including “Particulates, Characterisation

of Exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Vehicles”, “Artemis, Assessment and Reliability of

Transport Emission Models and Inventory Systems”, “Inspection & Maintenance of in-use

Vehicles”, “ICT-Emissions, Development of a methodology and tool to evaluate the impact of ICT

measures on road transport emissions”, “Evaluation of the impact of OBD systems and appraisal of

options for OBD threshold limit values for Euro 6 and VI” and the H2020 project “DownToTen,

Measuring automotive exhaust particles down to at least 10 nanometres”. He is elected Academic

Member and Vice Chairman of the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council

(ERTRAC) on "Energy, Environment and Resources". He has provided expert advice to a number

of organisations and private sector customers, including the European Commission, the European

Environment Agency, the World Bank the Greek Ministry of Environment, Rhône-Poulenc, ACEA,

Concawe, Toyota Motor Europe. He has participated in the organizing and scientific committees of

several international conferences such as Transport and Air Pollution (since 1992) and Transport

Research Arena (since 2012). He is member of the Editorial Board of Energies and he served as

reviewer to numerous peer reviewed journals (Atmospheric Environment, Fuel, Engine Research

and others) and International Conferences (such as the SAE International Congress). He is the

author of more than 300 scientific publications, among them more than 150 in peer-reviewed

journals and seven book chapters, which received according to Scopus more than 3500 citations in

peer reviewed articles, reviews and technical notes. His author h index is 32 (excluding self-

citations). Dr. Samaras has four international patents on topics related with exhaust gas

aftertreatment and biofuels. He is the co-founder of two spin-off companies Exothermia SA (active

in the field of exhaust aftertreatment) and Emisia SA (in the field of road transport emission

inventories and forecasts) that commercialize products of the research work of LAT. He also served

as board and scientific member in a few technology start-ups (such as Dekati Ltd and Bio2CHP).

D. Contribution to Software Develpoment

1. COPERT. A program that aims at the calculation of air pollutant emissions from road transport.

COPERT calculations are consistent with the “Detailed Methodology” of the EMEP/CORINAIR

Atmospheric Emissions Inventory Guidebook, Methodology for the calculation of exhaust emissions –

SNAPs 070100-070500, NFRs 1A3bi-iv. It is a highly appreciated software from the researchers of the

field and has been extensively used in emission trends analysis, in regional and local scale air quality

modeling, for regulatory impact assessments and human exposure modeling. Scopus gives more than

170 documents which cite COPERT (143 of them articles in journals and books).

2. AXISUITE ®. A modular software for the simulation of exhaust aftertreatment devices and systems.

The software has a broad range of applications in the development and optimization of exhaust systems,

from investigating the effect of DPF shape on partial regeneraton performance, to optimizing urea

injection strategy in a complicated exhaust system. AXISUITE is trusted by the leading OEMs, EAT

suppliers and Universities around the globe.
