Βιογραφικό
Dr.-Eng. Nikolaos Alexopoulos received his Ph.D. (2004) in Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics from the University of Patras, Greece. His Doctoral research focused on the development of a methodology to evaluate the quality of cast aluminium alloys for aeronautical applications by linking microstructural characteristics with mechanical properties. He conducted Post-Doctoral research (2005-2007) at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece regarding the structural integrity degradation of aeronautical aluminum alloys and structures due to corrosion, funded by the Greek State Scholarships Foundation (Ι.Κ.Υ.). He has been a Research Associate at the Research and Development Department of Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) (2007 to 2010) gaining valuable Industrial experience. In 2012 he was elected at the University of the Aegean where he still serves as Associate Professor of Mechanics of Materials. Research interests of Dr. Alexopoulos lies within the sector of experimental mechanics, mechanical behavior of engineering materials, fracture mechanics, casting of aluminum alloys, corrosion of aluminum alloys and steels, nanomaterials and nanocomposites. He has published more than 50 papers in scientific journals, presented more than 100 papers in conference proceedings and currently has a Hirsch-index = 20 (Scopus, without self-citations). He has participated in more than 20 National and European research projects; while he is an elected member of Board of Directors of the Greek Society of Experimental Mechanics of Materials (GSEMM) as well as of the EURopean ASsociation for Experimental Mechanics (EURASEM).
