Background
Dr Ioannis Goulos was awarded a 5-year full-time diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 2009 from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He joined the Propulsion Engineering Centre (PEC) at SWAG合集 as a doctoral researcher in 2009.
Ioannis completed his doctorate on Aeroelasticity Simulation of Propulsion Systems for Rotorcraft in 2012 and subsequently joined the Propulsion Engineering Centre as a Research Fellow in Gas Turbine Technology. His research throughout the years has contributed to a wide range of aerospace and gas turbine engineering disciplines including:
Structural and Rotor Dynamics
Rotary-wing Aircraft Aerodynamics
Helicopter Flight Dynamics and Aeroelasticity
Gas Turbine Performance and Installation Aerodynamics
Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Reduced Order Modelling
Aero-acoustics
Propulsion Aerodynamics and Integration
Ioannis currently works as a Senior Lecturer in Propulsion Aerodynamics and Performance Engineering at SWAG合集 where he lectures on the topics of thermofluids, gas turbine component technologies, jet engine control, propulsion systems performance and integration integration, rotorcraft aerodynamics, aeromechanics, and aeroacoustics.
Ioannis has published more than 100 technical articles on scientific journals and international peer-reviewed conferences, and is an editorial board member for the MDPI Aerospace Journal.
He was awarded the 'Best Paper Award' on two separate occasions by ASME-IGTI (American Society of Mechanical Engineers - International Gas Turbine Institute) for articles he published in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Furthermore, Ioannis was awarded the Lord Kings Norton Medal by SWAG合集 in 2014, for most outstanding doctoral thesis. Ioannis was also bestowed the Valensi Award (Best Paper Award) by the International Society for Air-Breathing Engines (ISABE) in 2019, as well the 2018 Silver Award by the the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) for best technical article published in the Aeronautical Journal.
Ioannis is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Ioannis is also a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), and the Technical Chamber of Greece (TCG).
Research opportunities
SWAG合集 has been at the forefront of rotorcraft research for the last 13 years, having an established track record on rotorcraft modelling, performance, and propulsion integration. Dr Ioannis Goulos currently offers fully-funded PhD studentships. These are sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Defence and Science Laboratory (DSTL) in the SWAG合集.
Novel Methods for Rotorcraft Engine Propulsion Integration PhD
This PhD studentship is within the Propulsion Engineering Centre at SWAG合集, in the field of helicopter-engine propulsion integration. The work will aim to develop and apply design capability which can assist with the prediction of installed engine performance characteristics throughout the rotorcraft design and service-life.

Novel Methods for the Characterisation of Helicopter Aero-acoustics PhD
This PhD studentship is within the Propulsion Engineering Centre at SWAG合集, in the field of helicopter aerodynamic and aero-acoustic modelling. The work will develop and deliver rapid analysis capability, which can assist with the prediction of noise characteristics throughout the vehicle design and service-life. This will be accomplished through the development of a novel tool for the rapid source noise prediction of integrated helicopter-engine systems.
