A study conducted by Stanford University researchers ranked six UoWM Academic Staff members among the top scientists in the world. The list “Data for updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators” ranks scientists worldwide in all scientific fields considering the impact of their published work in 2019. It includes about 100,000 scientists distinguished worldwide, as well as 2% of the top scientists in the scientific sub-field in which they specialize. The novelty of this study is that the bibliometric indicators that are evaluated include not only the total number of citations and the h-index of the scientists according to the Scopus bibliographic database, but also parameters such as the weighted measurement of the co-authorship and the position of the author in publications.
The six UoWM Academic Staff members are the following:
| Name | Department | Scientific Field/Sub-Field |
| Frontistis Zacharias | Chemical Engineering | Environmental Sciences / Energy |
| Goula Maria | Chemical Engineering | Physical Chemistry/Energy |
| Kalogiratou Zacharoula | Mathematics | Computation Theory& Mathematics/ General Physics |
| Koroneos Christoforos | Mechanical Engineering | Environmental Sciences / Energy |
| Pilavakis Petros | Mechanical Engineering | Mechanical Engineering &Transports / Energy |
| Tsipouras Markos | Electrical and Computer Engineering | Biomedical Engineering/Medical Informatics |
The list also includes scientists whose work has been most cited by peers throughout their careers. In this list the three UoWM Academic Staff members are:
| Name | Department | Scientific Field/Sub-Field |
| Koroneos Christoforos | Mechanical Engineering | Environmental Sciences/ Energy |
| Pilavakis Petros | Mechanical Engineering | Mechanical Engineering &Transports / Energy |
| Theodoulidis Theodoros | Mechanical Engineering | General Physics/Applied Physics |
These great distinctions reflect the high level and internationally recognized research conducted at the University of Western Macedonia and will be the driving force of high goals achievement.
Congratulations to our Academic Staff members on their success.
