Tallarou Chrysoula holds an Integrated Master in Mineral Resources Engineering from Technical University of Crete, Greece, specializing in the exploitation of energy resources. She is a PhD Candidate of the School of Mineral Resources Engineering in collaboration with the Institute of GeoEnergy/FORTH (PhD thesis: Development of a CO2 capture technology from biogas using hydrates and its conversion into biomass using a microalgae bioreactor).
Tallarou Chrysoula is interested in CO2 Capture Technologies and the thermodynamics of hydrates and specific conditions under which hydrates could be formed are of great importance for her study. In addition, the microalgae cultivations and the maximum possible CO2 uptake are of great interest for her research. Permeability, porosity measurements, wettability prediction and alteration are also in the field of her research. She has also presented at the Europe Regional Paper Contest of the SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) on 2021, her research work on the ‘Effect of the asphaltene precipitation and deposition on the relative permeability curves of Berea Sandstone’ and won the 2nd place. The paper was part of her undergraduate thesis ‘Laboratory measurement of the effect of wettability of a porous rock on the water and oil relative permeability curves on reservoir rocks’.
Five awards of excellence were presented to her, one for each year of her studies and she graduated with the highest score in her undergraduate class. She has also been awarded with the ANEK lines award and by the Technical Chamber of Greece on December 2024 for her academic scores.
