Vissarion Papadopoulos

Vissarion Papadopoulos, Assistant Professor, School Civil Eng., Inst. of Structural Analysis & Antiseismic Research since 2007, B.Sc. degree in civ. eng. (1991, NTUA),MSc in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (1993 Imperial College), Ph.D in Stochastic Structural Mechanics (1998, NTUA), Post Doctoral in Stochastic Structural Mechanics (2000-2006, NTUA and Columbia University) . His main research body focuses on probabilistic computational mechanics in which he has contributions in the area of reliability analysis and stochastic finite element methods. Starting in 1995, he has published 20 papers in peer reviewed journals and 32 in peer reviewed conference proceedings with more than 180 total number of citations and h-index = 7 (excluding self citations of all co-authors). He also has significant contributions in the fields of reliability and seismic vulnerability analysis with a number of research papers in peer reviewed journals on the aforementioned topics. As recognized expert in the area of Computational Stochastic Mechanics, member of the International Association of Structural Safety and Reliability (IASSAR), he is a regular reviewer for 11 scientific journals, has co-organized the Second South-East European Conference on Computational Mechanics, SEECCM 2009 and is member of the organizing committee of the Computational Methods in structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering COMPDYN 2009 and 2011conferences. He has also organized 6 Minisymposia for various International Conferences.
