Katerina Genikomsou

Katerina Genikomsou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University, Canada. She holds affiliations with the Smith School of Business and Engineering. Her research focuses on structural performance of reinforced concrete structures using experimental and numerical methods, with a focus on novel materials like GFRP reinforcement and ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC).

Dr. Genikomsou completed a PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo (2016), followed by a post-doctoral fellowship there (2017). She also holds MSc and Diploma degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. Her work is funded by organizations like the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO).

Her research interests span seismic behavior analysis, nonlinear finite element modeling, and material innovation for resilient infrastructure. She is actively involved in ACI/ASCE committees (445, 447, 352, 421) and fib Working Party 2.2.3, focusing on concrete design and educational materials.

Key research areas include: seismic fragility assessment, GFRP reinforcement systems, machine learning for performance prediction, and post-disaster structural resilience. Her work bridges experimental testing, computational modeling, and practical engineering applications.

Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed in the provided texts. She collaborates internationally and contributes to community-based rehabilitation initiatives through Queen's University's research centers.
