Education
PhD in Environmental Engineering
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich)
Mar 2009 - Jan 2014
Hydrological modelling of slope stability
Dissertation description: Goal of the dissertation is to develop a physically-based distributed model, continuous in space and time, in order to investigate the interactions between surface and subsurface hydrology and landslides initiation. The model uses the object-oriented features of C++ and is accelerated using the CUDA architecture.
Diploma in Civil Engineering
National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)
Sept 2003 - Mar 2009
Specialization in Geotechnics
GPA: 9.0/10.0
Diploma thesis: Assessment of reliability of climatic models based on comparisons with historical time series. (Grade 10.00/10.00)
Thesis description: Goal of the thesis was to compare the output of various climate models to temperature and precipitation observations at point and continental scale and assess their reliability for making predictions in various disciplines.
