Short Biography

Mr. Alamanis Nikolaos studied at the School of Civil Engineering of the National Technical University of Greece and continued his studies (master’s degree) in the field of Soil and Construction Engineering at the Ecole Centrale Paris. He is a Dr. Civil Engineer of the University of Thessaly in the Field of Geotechnical Engineering.

From 1995 to 2007 he taught as an hourly professor at the Technical University of Thessaly. From 2007 to today he teaches as a Professor of Applications initially and Assistant Professor subsequently, in the Civil Engineering curriculum of the Technical University of Larissa and from 2021 in the Department of Agriculture-Agrotechnology of the University of Thessaly. Also from 2018 to 2020 he taught in the Postgraduate Program: “Modern Technologies of Environmental Management Projects” of the General Department of the University of Thessaly.

During his tenure, he organized and developed autonomous teaching of the courses: Soil Mechanics, Soil Mechanics Laboratory, Road Construction I (Laboratory) Road Construction II, Financial Project Management, Port Design, Statics, Strength of Materials, Calculation of Structures and Foundations of Technical Projects at the PPS, Environmental Geology at the Department of Environment as well as Soil Mechanics and Agricultural Buildings and Technologies at the Department of Agriculture-Agrotechnology of the University of Thessaly where he serves.

In the Postgraduate Studies Program, he organized and developed autonomous teaching in the Advanced Geotechnical Engineering-Simulations course. He participated in many working committees of both the department and the institution in general and presented important administrative work from 2007 to date, assuming important positions of responsibility. In his research work, he presents six (7) participations in Research Programs, thirty-three (33) Scientific publications in Proceedings of International and National Conferences after a review of the text, thirty-three (33) Scientific publications in reputable journals with referees, four (4) Scientific publications in an Internet Portal as well as three (3) important theses.

His research interests focus on Geotechnical Engineering Simulations, Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, Effect of spatial variability of soil properties (c, φ, E, γ) on permanent seismic displacements of road slopes.

Finally, he is a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece (T.E.E.), the Society of Civil Engineers of Greece (S.P.M.E.), the Hellenic Scientific Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (SSEGE), the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering and the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE).
