Vagelis Plevris

Professor Vagelis Plevris is affiliated with the Department of Built Environment at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Technology, Art and Design. His research focuses on structural engineering, computational methods, and sustainable construction materials. Key areas include seismic assessment of historical structures, AI-driven structural analysis, and digital twin frameworks for infrastructure management. He leads the Structural Engineering Research Group (SERG) and collaborates on Industry 5.0 applications in cultural heritage preservation.

Research interests span structural analysis techniques (e.g., finite element methods, symbolic matrix analysis), optimization algorithms (e.g., ant colony optimization), and computational tools for engineering education. His work addresses challenges in earthen historical structures, wooden defect detection via CNNs, and emergency inspection scheduling post-disasters.

His recent publications emphasize synthetic data generation for bridge digital twins, chatbot performance in mathematical reasoning, and open-source frameworks for reinforced concrete modeling. He actively contributes to conferences like the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering and ECCOMAS events.
