Dimitris Karonis

Dimitris Karonis is a professor at the Fuel and Lubricants Technology Laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He recently came under intense scrutiny for his report regarding the tragic train collision in Tempi, Greece, which claimed numerous lives. His findings, suggesting that silicone oil could create a fireball under certain conditions, have been vehemently criticized by victims' family members, particularly Maria Karystianou, who described the report as a 'monstrosity' and challenged its scientific validity. Karonis's conclusions have sparked widespread outrage and demands for accountability within the scientific community.
