John Botsis

John Botsis is a Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) within the School of Engineering, focusing on composite materials, fracture mechanics, and structural monitoring. His research explores delamination behavior in CFRP laminates, torque-induced strain measurement using optical sensors, prosthetic design for low-resource settings, and multi-material joint optimization.

• Key Research Areas: Composite damage mechanics, sensor integration, biomechanical devices

His work combines experimental testing (e.g., compression systems, X-ray tomography) with numerical modeling (cohesive zones, FE simulation) to analyze fracture resistance, fiber bridging, and load-dependent failure mechanisms. Publications emphasize applications in aerospace, bioengineering, and industrial testing.

• Scientific Contributions: Over 190 scholarly works (2022-2019), including 9 major publications
• Collaborations: Partnerships with International Committee of the Red Cross, industrial entities
