Panagiota Angeli is a Greek engineer who is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London. Her research considers experimental and digital analysis of multi-phase flows. She is committed to making engineering more inclusive, and led a successful application for a gold Athena SWAN award. She was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2025.

Early life and education

Angeli is from Greece. She became interested in science at a young age, and specifically enjoyed using science to solve complex problems.[1] She studied chemical engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, where she remained as a Research Assistant. She moved to the United Kingdom for her doctoral research, where she worked on multiphase flows at Imperial College London.[1] At Imperial, she became interested in two-phase liquid systems, which was relevant to the oil and gas industry. She was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship, and started work on process intensification. Her fellowship looked to separate metals for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing.[1]

Research and career

Angeli is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London, having joined the department in 1996, and was awarded an Esso Fellowship in 1998. She looks to understand how small scale interactions impact the behaviour of complex flows. She examines how surfactants and non-Newtonian rheologies impact microdrop formation, and the optimimum composition of complex formulations.[2] Angeli combines advanced characterisation techniques, AI data-driven simulations and digital tools to understand multiphase flows.[3] Angeli is interested in metals recycling and the treatment of electronic waste.[1]

Academic service

Angeli led the Department of Chemical Engineering's successful application for a gold Athena SWAN award.[3][4][5]
