Professor Nikos Aravas of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Thessaly was presented with the World Premier International Professor appointment by the Japanese University of Kyushu. He was recommended by the International Institute for Carbon‐Neutral Energy Research’s (I2CNER) Science Steering Committee to develop the science on extracting energy from hydrogen. His work will focus on ways to eliminate material erosion by hydrogen.

Aravas studied Mechanical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and specialized in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the University of Illinois, USA, where in 1987 he received the "Presidential Young Investigator Award" presented by the President of the USA. He has been working with the University of Thessaly since 1999 and is currently director of the Mechatronics Institute at the Thessaly Technological Research Centre.
