Dr. E. (Vagelis) Kementzetzidis
Profile
Evangelos is an Assistant Professor at the Hydraulic Engineering department. He obtained his MSc in Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering and PhD at TU Delft with distinction (cum laude).
Evangelos' research focuses on the soil structure interaction of Offshore structures in diverse marine environments and challenging conditions (storms, earthquakes).
Evangelos is encouraging enthusiastic students to explore the opportunity and contact him for exciting graduation projects.
