About

Konstantinos N. Kyriakos

Aerospace propulsion engineer with a first-class BSc in Aerospace Science & Technology (9.44/10) and an MSc in Thermal Power & Propulsion at Cranfield University, supported by an ITP Aero scholarship with continuous industrial supervision on thesis research.

Specialising in combustion dynamics and thermoacoustics, with hands-on experience across solid rocket motors, sloshing dynamics, and CFD — including designing and firing a real propulsion system as the founder of Greece's first student rocketry team at NKUA, and winning the European Airbus Sloshing Rocket Workshop. Particular focus on liquid rocket engine development and the combustion-stability challenges it presents.
