Dr. Panagiotis Kirmizakis
Research Scientist III, CIPR
Dr. Panagiotis Kirmizakis is a Research Scientist III in the Center for Integrative Petroleum Research, College of Petroleum Engineering & Geoscience, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. He received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from the Queen’s University of Belfast, UK, in 2020, MS in Geo-environmental Resources & Risks, and BS in Environmental & Natural Resources Engineering in environmental geophysics, environmental engineering & environmental impact assessment, and wastewater treatment. Before joining KFUPM as a Post-Doc Researcher in 2021, Dr. Kirmizakis worked as an Early-Stage Researcher in the Marie Sklodowska-Cuire grant agreement No. 643087 REMEDIATE. He has extensive expertise in using non-seismic methods, such as magnetic, gravity, electrical and electromagnetic methods, to explore and exploit natural resources, including groundwater, geothermal, minerals, and oil & gas. Dr. Kirmizakis leads the experimental efforts and works with a multidisciplinary team to investigate and develop SIP applications for challenges relevant to the oil and gas sector.
