Dimitrios Loverdos

Dimitrios Loverdos is a Lecturer in Digital Construction at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Greenwich, within the Faculty of Engineering and Science. He holds a PhD and MEng from the University of Leeds, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, and specializes in integrating digital technologies with structural engineering applications.

Education:

• PhD in Civil and Structural Engineering, University of Leeds
• MEng in Civil and Structural Engineering, University of Leeds

His research lies at the intersection of structural engineering and digital innovation, focusing on physical large-scale testing, numerical analysis using FEM and DEM, and the application of computer vision and machine learning for structural assessment. He leverages Python and MATLAB for algorithmic development in automated model generation, defect detection, and damage evaluation of built structures.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend toward intelligent, data-driven structural analysis, combining photogrammetry with deep learning for digital twin creation, vision-based inspection systems, and advanced numerical modeling of composite systems under extreme conditions like fire. These works highlight interdisciplinary work across civil engineering, AI, and computational mechanics.
