The Computer Center of the Department of Chemical Engineering started its operation in May 1995, following the initiatives of Professors emeriti V. Papageorgiou and M. Assael, as well as with the help of the late professor S. Paras, student Z. Gallis, and the late technician M. Brindakis. Since February 2009, the Department has obtained a second computer center, thanks to the initiatives of Professors emeriti G. Sakellaropoulos and M. Assael.
Today, the Computer Center is equipped with about 30 state-of-the-art desktop computers. There is also a projector and a sound system installed in every room, used for teaching purposes.
Computer Center B’ is used only for classes, while Computer Center A’ is open to students and operates by a voluntary team of students and by the assistance of the department technical personnel.
The valuable help of D. Zacharopoulos, K. Kakosimos and A. Kanaris for the Computer Center operation in the past years must also be mentioned.
