Biography

Dr. Dionysios (“Dion”) Dionysiou is a Professor and the Graduate Studies Director for Environmental Engineering and Sciences. He studied Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (N.T.U.A.) in Greece and Tufts University before receiving his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Dionysiou’s research has received millions of dollars in funding from organizations that include the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (NOAA/CICEET) and DuPont. In 2014, he received the ARCADIS / AEESP Frontier in Research Award as well as the Research Award and Distinguished Engineering Researcher Award from UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Dr. Dionysiou has over 200 peer-reviewed publications and 90 conference presentations. He is currently one of the editors of Chemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier), Editor of the Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies, and Special Issue Editor for the Journal of Environmental Engineering (ASCE). He is a member of the Editorial Boards of ten other journalsand he is serving as a reviewer for many national and international journals. Dr. Dionysiou is equally dedicated to his teaching and advising, graduating over 30 Ph.D. and M.S. students who have in turn won many awards. He teaches courses in Water and Wastewater Treatment; Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnology; and Physical-Chemical Processes for Water Quality Control.

Research Interest

Professor Dionysiou perfo rms research in the fields of (i) Advanced oxidation technologies for water treatment, (ii) drinking water treatment and purification, (iii) physicochemical phenomena on particle - water interfaces, (iv) transition - metal oxidation and reverse electron transf er reactions, (v) the use of ionic liquids in environmental applications, (vi) destruction of biological toxins in water, and (vii) environmental nanotechnology (fundamental, fate, transport, and applications of nanomaterials) . At the University of Cincin nati, Professor Dionysiou teaches graduate courses in the fields of (i) Advanced Unit Operations for the Treatment of Drinking Water and Wastewater, (ii) Physical - Chemical Processes for Water Quality Control, and (iii) Advanced Oxidation Technologies and N anotechnologies. He also teaches a graduate level laboratory course on Unit Operations and Process Monitoring for the Treatment of Polluted Water and Air and an undergraduate course in Environmental Engineering Fundamentals and Process Design
