Short Biography
Dimitrios was born in Nea Ionia Volou, Greece in 1974. Having an intense interest in math and physics he enrolled in NTU Athens and graduated with a Diploma in Civil Engineering (1997) and a desire to broaden his horizons. He then moved to California and Stanford University where he studied geomechanics (MSc 1998), probabilistic methods, hazard estimation and seismic performance of structures (PhD 2002). After graduating he participated in various research projects in Greece ranging from modal identification and Bayesian model updating for bridges to modeling older reinforced concrete buildings. Since September 2005 he has joined the faculty of the University of Cyprus teaching design of steel structures and earthquake engineering.

Research Interests
His research vision is focused on integrating structural modeling, computational techniques, probabilistic concepts and experimental results into a coherent framework for the performance evaluation of structures. Specifically, he is highly interested in the estimation of seismic hazard, the analysis and design of steel structures, the modeling and nonlinear analysis of structures, and the seismic performance of buildings and bridges with an ambition to integrate elements of such procedures into future codes and current design.
