Anastasios Tsiavos

Anastasios Tsiavos is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, specializing in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering. His research focuses on developing sustainable seismic retrofitting methods and performance-based design approaches for resilient infrastructure.

Primary research interests include: seismic isolation systems for structures in developing countries, synergetic approaches combining seismic and energy retrofitting, timber-based energy dissipation systems, and geotechnical seismic isolation. His work emphasizes cost-effective solutions for earthquake-prone regions through experimental validation and computational modeling.

Recent research explores large-scale experimental methods through shaking table tests, hybrid design strategies for masonry buildings, and optimization of retrofitting techniques. Publications demonstrate consistent focus on improving structural resilience while addressing sustainability challenges in seismic engineering.
