You can find my complete resume here: RESUME

 

I am an Assistant Professor in Geotechnical Engineering at the Civil Engineering Dept of the Engineering School at UNIWA and have graduated from the Civil Engineering Dept of NTUA (1997), an MSc in Soil Mechanics from Imperial College London (1998) and a PhD from the Geotechnical Engineering Division of the Civil Engineering of NTUA (2008).

 

I am the elected Director Division B Hydraulic and Geotechnical Engineering (since 2021) and the elected General Secretary of the Hellenic Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (HSSMGE since 2019), while I have been an elected board member of the HSSMGE for more than 10 years (since 2010). I am also a member of the corresponding international societies (ISSMGE and ISRM) and a core member of the organizing committee of the 8th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils in Milos.

 

My current teaching work includes: a) the postgraduate course of Mechanical Behaviour of Soils and Soil Exploration Methods, b) the four undergraduate courses of Soil Mechanics, Geotechnical Works, Deep Excavations and Retaining Walls και Cut slopes and Embankments, c) the scientific coordination of UG course Internship. I have taught in the past the undergraduate courses of Geology for Engineers, Engineering Geology and Introduction to Rock Mechanics, Rock Mechanics – Tunneling and Foundations.

 

I have 30 publications in constitutive modelling and mechanical behaviour of clayey soils, numerical and probabilistic analysis, slope stability - landslides, coupled consolidation problems, analysis according to Eurocode 7, resilience of geotechnical structures and 21^st century instruction methods. I also have than 15 invited lectures in conferences, workshops and universities in most of the above topics.

 

My scientific work also includes the evolution of the 2^nd generation of Eurocodes EN1997, actively participating in Greek NQIS/ELOT (TC 67 – Eurocodes) and in European Committee for Standardization (CEN/TC250/SC7 Eurocode 7 - TG A2: NSB Contact Group and TG B2: Design Example Analysis). I also participate in the NQIS/ELOT TC 67 - “Special Geotechnical Topics” for the development of ISO European Testing Standard of Geotechnical Engineering. I have reviewed for 8 journals and also for conferences, while I have been an external examiner of PhD Thesis. From 2010 I am a representative of HSSMGE in TC103 - Numerical Methods in Geomechanics and TC208 - Landslides της ISSMG.

 

My professional experience, from 1999, includes the analysis and design of geotechnical structures (e.g. cut slopes, landslides, retaining walls, embankments and tunnels), the geotechnical investigation and evaluation and also the execution of laboratory tests and the preparation of the corresponding ISO technical guidance.
