Short Curriculum Vitae of Leonidas Sotiropoulos
Leonidas Sotiropoulos was born in Athens and graduated in 1988 from the Department of Geology, University of Patras, Greece. He worked at IGME (Institute of Geological and Mineral Exploration) for the investigation of the Kalavryta lignite deposit in 1988. In 1990 he attended educational program at KEDE (Central Laboratory of Public Works), Soil Mechanics, Rock Mechanics, Concrete and Asphalt laboratories. In 2005 he completed a postgraduate program (Diploma) entitled «Executive Diploma in Management» of Mediterranean College & London School of Management.
In 1999 he worked in GEOPHYSICI EU, as a geologist responsible for geotechnical investigations, geophysical surveys, geological studies and water wells. From January 1993 to September 1993 he worked for EGM Ltd., responsible for on-site geotechnical consulting services in the construction of reservoirs. Since September 1993 is a permanent partner of EDAFOS SA. He has experience of over 20 years and has been involved in more than 300 geotechnical and geolocical designs in all the areas EDAFOS SA has interest, with main tasks in geological design, supervision of field geotechnical investigations, presentation and evaluation of Geotechnical Research and field geotechnical consulting services to a great number and large - scale infrastructure projects. Featured projects include Evinos dam, Platy dam, Olympic 2004 games infrastructures, Egnatia Odos highway, Tripolis - Kalamata motorway, Greece central axis (E65) , Crete northern highway , National high speed railway Athens -Thessaloniki , Korinthos – Patra, Kalambaka – Kozani, Trans Adriatic Pipeline and many others. He is a member of Geotechnical Chamber of Greece (1993), of the Greek Committee of Engineering Geology, of the Geological Society of Greece and of the Association of Greek Geologists. |
