About:Karamalidis is an assistant professor of environmental systems engineering at Penn State. He began in 2018. Karamalidis holds a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Crete in Greece and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering and science from Democritus University of Thrace in Greece. His studies also include X-ray spectroscopy at the University of Florence in Italy. He became a visiting research scholar and later an associate research professor of environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education post-doctoral fellow specializing in geochemistry at the National Energy Technology Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy. Karamalidis brings more than sixteen years of combined experience in applied engineering, research, and development across different disciplines, such as extraction, separation and recovery of critical elements, surface and interfacial phenomena, geochemistry, water chemistry, and surface complexation modeling. He currently serves as the Vice Chair of Hydrometallurgy and Electrometallurgy Committee of The Minerals, Metals and Materials (TMS) society and was a member of the board of directors and secretary general of the board of directors of the Association of Greek Chemists. He is a member of various professional societies. His awards include the Prime Minister’s Awards for Scientific Ingenuity of Trinidad and Tobago for Scientific Creative Solutions, Berkman Faculty Development Award, ORISE Faculty Fellowship, and others.Research Interests:• Extraction, separation and recovery of critical elements• Surface chemistry and adsorption • Geochemistry and water chemistry • Surface complexation modeling • Geological storage and utilization of carbon dioxide • Water-energy-mineral resource recovery and production Memberships & Committees:• American Chemical Society (ACS)• American Geophysical Union (AGU) • Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) • Geochemical Society (GS) • Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) • Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) • Association of Greek Chemists (AGC) • Hellenic Solid Waste Management Association, HSWMA (National Member of International Solid Waste Association, ISWA) Honors & Awards:• Prime Minister's Awards for Scientific Ingenuity of Trinidad and Tobago for Scientific Creative Solutions (2015).• Berkman Faculty Development Award, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA USA (December 2014). • ORISE Faculty Fellowship Program: Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (U.S. Department of Energy) (Nov. 2015 – present). • ORISE Faculty Fellowship Program: Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (U.S. Department of Energy) (Nov. 2014 – Jun. 2016). • ORISE Faculty Fellowship Program: Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (U.S. Department of Energy) (Jul. 2012 – Jan. 2013). • ORISE Postdoctoral fellowship: Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (U.S. Department of Energy) (Oct. 2009 – Jun. 2010). • PhD scholarship, Department of Environmental Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, funded by TSMEDE, Greece (2001-2005). • European Commission exchange fellowship: Department of Chemistry, University of Florence, funded by EU ERASMUS/SOCRATES program on “Crystallography and X-ray Diffraction analysis of substituted porphyrins” under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Di Vaira, Italy (Feb. – Sept. 1998).
