Marios Christou

Marios Christou is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London, part of the Faculty of Engineering. He holds a first-class MEng in Civil Engineering from Imperial College London, with a final year at École Nationale des Ponts et Chausées in Paris. His PhD, supervised by Professor Chris Swan, focused on fully nonlinear waves and wave-structure interaction within the Fluid Mechanics section.

Professionally, he worked for nearly 5 years at Shell in the Netherlands as a Metocean & Offshore Structures Engineer, contributing to joint industry projects analyzing wave data, infragravity waves, and Metocean design criteria for offshore structures. His work included LNG vessel offloading analysis and riser/mooring modeling. He also supervised MSc research projects during this period.

Research interests span oceanography, civil engineering, geology, maritime engineering, and mechanical engineering, with affiliations to the Marine and coastal environments group and Fluid Mechanics section. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, and his professional contributions emphasize applied research in offshore engineering and fluid dynamics.
