Haris Stamatopoulos

Haris Stamatopoulos is an Associate Professor at the Department of Structural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His research focuses on advanced timber connections using threaded rods, screws, and dowel-type fasteners, combining experimental testing, finite-element simulations, and analytical methods.

• Research Interests: Serviceability and ductility in timber buildings, innovative connection systems, dynamic testing of timber components.
• Teaching: Courses include Timber Structures 1 (TKT4211), Timber Structures 2 (TKT4212), and Construction Materials (TKT4240).
• Research Groups: Timber Structures Group and KMEK Group at NTNU.

His work emphasizes parametric analysis, stiffness/resistance optimization, and moisture/fatigue effects in timber systems. Recent publications explore dynamic modeling, connection behavior, and sustainability in structural systems.
