#2: Hydrogen, Simulation, and High-Impact Teams – Emmanuella Sotiropoulou on Engineering the Future of ICE Fast

In this episode, we speak with Emmanuella Sotiropoulou, Vice President of Prometheus Applied Technologies.From early engineering curiosity to leading a niche high-impact company, Emmanuella is driving innovation in hydrogen combustion. We explore how Prometheus transforms diesel engines into hydrogen engines using holistic combustion solutions – combining ignition systems, injection strategies, and advanced CFD methods.She shares her perspective on the evolving role of simulation: where its untapped potential lies, why mesh and chemical mechanisms remain bottlenecks, and how AI will accelerate predictability and speed in future development workflows.We also discuss team leadership in a specialized environment, including how small, strengths-based teams collaborate, learn, and stay ahead in a fast-moving industry.Finally, we hear a personal reflection on purpose, energy, and support, and how meaningful work and the right people around you can fuel long-term performance.Learn more about AVL's simulation expertise:https://www.avl.com/en/simulation-solutionsWant to learn more about Emmanuella Sotiropoulou?
