Dimitrios Fasnakis

Dimitrios Fasnakis serves as an Academic Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Western Macedonia, holding advanced qualifications in mechanical engineering disciplines. His educational foundation includes a Diploma and M.Sc. in Welding Engineering and Non-Destructive Inspection from the Technical Educational Institute of Western Macedonia.

His academic background is detailed as follows:

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design from Technical Educational Institute of Western Macedonia
• M.Sc. in Welding Engineering and Non-Destructive Inspection from same institution

Fasnakis maintains active research across interdisciplinary engineering domains with emphasis on materials characterization and structural integrity. His primary focus areas integrate additive manufacturing processes with biomechanical analysis, particularly examining mechanical failure modes in composite materials and biological structures. This dual expertise enables innovative approaches to material testing and performance optimization.

His 2016 publications reveal consistent investigation into mechanical failure mechanisms, with particular attention to energy absorption in 3D-printed polymers and fatigue-induced fractures in construction materials. These works demonstrate methodological rigor in experimental mechanics and practical applications for industrial material testing standards.

Recognition for his scholarly contributions includes:

• 2017 M.Sc. Scholarship of Excellence with honorable mention and financial support for Welding Engineering research
• 2013 Young Researcher Award at the European Society of Biomechanics Congress for biomechanical bone research

As a Ph.D. candidate actively engaged in research, Fasnakis focuses on experimental materials science without documented advising responsibilities or external grant management. His scholarly trajectory shows progression from biomechanics toward advanced manufacturing applications while maintaining core expertise in material failure analysis.
