Speaker Bio

Dr. George Markou, is a researcher and academic in the field of computational mechanics, with a strong foundation in civil engineering. He completed his undergraduate studies with honors at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 2004, where he was the recipient of numerous academic awards and scholarships. Dr. Markou has held academic and research positions in Cyprus, the UAE, Chile, the UK, and South Africa, and is currently a faculty member at the Cyprus University of Technology and a Research Associate at the University of Pretoria. His research spans a wide range of topics, including the finite element method, machine learning applications in engineering, structural health monitoring, seismic assessment of reinforced concrete structures, FRP material modeling, and high-performance computing. He is also the software architect of ReConAn FEA, a research finite element analysis platform developed for advanced structural simulations.
