Euripidis Mistakidis

Professor Euripidis Mistakidis is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece, and Director of the Laboratory of Structural Analysis and Design. He holds a Diploma in Civil Engineering (1987) and a Doctoral degree (1992) from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His academic career includes roles as Assistant Professor (2000–2005) and Associate Professor (2005–present) at the University of Thessaly, alongside adjunct and research positions.

• Professional affiliations: Member of multiple editorial boards and scientific committees, including the COST C26 Action on Urban Habitat Constructions under Catastrophic Events.
• Research interests: Seismic behavior of structures, numerical simulation of structural response, nonconvex optimization in mechanics, and application of neural networks in structural analysis.

His research focuses on developing methods for seismic assessment and strengthening of civil infrastructure, with emphasis on steel structures, composite systems, and fiber-reinforced concrete. He has contributed to over 150 publications, including books, journal articles, and conference proceedings.

Notable contributions include advancements in fractal interface modeling, low-yield steel panels for seismic retrofitting, and numerical methods for nonconvex optimization. His work addresses challenges in structural integrity under extreme events, such as earthquakes and fires.
