ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Green Park, GP313
Dimos Charmpis obtained a Diploma in Civil Engineering (5-year course) from National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in Greece (1994). He also received a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from NTUA and Athens University of Economics and Business (1999). He then earned a Ph.D. degree from NTUA (2003) after completing a thesis on topics in the area of Computational Mechanics. As a postdoctoral researcher he worked together with research groups at NTUA and University of Innsbruck (Austria) during 2003-2005. In August 2005 he joined the University of Cyprus, where he is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
