Manolis S. Georgioudakis

Civil Engineer, Dipl Eng, MEng, PhD

I am Dr. Civil Engineer. I received my Ph.D. from the School of Civil Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 2014. My doctoral dissertation was awarded by the Greek Association of Computational Mechanics (GRACM) as the best PhD Thesis in 2014 in Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering. I also hold a Master's degree in Engineering from the School of Civil Engineering of the NTUA.

My research interests are primarily focused in the field of computational mechanics, with particular emphasis on structural optimization, linear and nonlinear finite element analysis, failure mechanics, the stochastic finite element method, and the application of machine learning techniques. I have contributed as an early-stage researcher to numerous research projects funded by the European Union and Greek national organizations. In addition, I have taught a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and have supervised several undergraduate theses within the School of Civil Engineering.

I possess professional experience in the static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete and steel structures, gained as a freelance civil engineer on private sector projects.
