Short Curriculum Vitae of Ioannis Fikiris
Ioannis Fikiris
|
Ioannis Fikiris was born in Athens and graduated (1996) from the Civil Engineering Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Ηe undertook further education at Imperial College, University of London where he was awarded, in 1997, a MSc in Soil Mechanics. In 1997, he was selected for a scholarship in «Geomechanics» sponsored by the State Scholarships Foundation (Ι.Κ.Υ.).
He specializes in geotechnical engineering and is a Principal Geotechnical Engineer at EDAFOS with 23 years work experience both as an engineering design manager and as a construction-engineering consultant on numerous large infrastructure projects. Featured projects include the Ionia Odos, E-65, Olympia odos and Tripolis - Kalamata highways, the reginal Aegean Sea airports (Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, Kos, Samos and Mytilene), sections of the high speed railway network of Greece such as Korinthos - Patra and Kalampaka - Kozani, large dams (Evinos dam, Smokovo dam etc), 2004 Olympic games infrastructures, Athens METRO works etc. He has been responsible for numerous Geotechnical Designs in all the core business areas where the company has a presence and mainly in large civil engineering projects, involving ground investigations, landslide stabilizations measures, earthworks designs, tunnelling, bridge and building foundations, ground improvement including grouting schemes etc. He is very active in the civil engineering industry and he is a member of the i) Technical Chamber of Greece, ii) International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), iii) Hellenic Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, iv) International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), v) British Geotechnical Association (BGA), vi) International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) and a founding member of its Greek chapter, vii) Greek tunnelling Society, viii) Greek Commission of Large Dams. He is currently the Chairman (2017 - 2020) of the Greek Tunneling & Underground Space Association (Ε.Ε.Σ.Υ.Ε.) and a member of the executive commitee of the Hellenic Geosynthetics Society (hgs), whereas during 2016-2019 he served as the society's vice chairman. His research interests include tunnelling, foundation engineering and earthworks design incorporating reinforcement or support measures (retaining structures, reinforced embankments with geosynthetics etc). Ioannis has published his work in a number of national journals and international conferences. A list of the publications is presented hereafter: |
