Panagiotis Kapsalis

Dr. Panagiotis Kapsalis is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mechanics of Materials and Constructions, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (College of Engineering), specializing in the structural behavior of advanced materials under extreme conditions. His work focuses on textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), carbon fiber composites, and fire-resistant construction materials, with a strong emphasis on experimental and numerical modeling techniques.

Active in academic research since 2018, Dr. Kapsalis has published 11 peer-reviewed outputs, including articles in the Journal of Composites for Construction and proceedings from the Carbon- und Textilbetontage conference. His research trends reveal a deep engagement with TRC performance under fire exposure, compaction mechanics, and transversal connection optimization in 3D textiles.

As a researcher at VUB, he collaborates with institutions like the Technical University of Dresden and contributes to multidisciplinary teams exploring cementitious composites and structural durability. Dr. Kapsalis maintains an ORCID ID (0000-0001-5291-9957) and has accumulated 164 citations with an h-index of 7, reflecting his impact in materials science and civil engineering domains.
