About
Dr. Vasileios Fragkoulis received his five-year Diploma (2008) and his M.Sc. degree (2011) both in Applied Mathematical Sciences from the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens in Greece. He earned his Ph.D. degree (2017) in Applied Mathematics and Uncertainty Quantification from the Department of Mathematics of the University of Liverpool in the UK. He then joined Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany as a Research Associate in the Institute for Risk and Reliability in 2018. Since August 2023, Dr. Fragkoulis has been a Lecturer in Environmental Engineering Risk and Uncertainty at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Liverpool. His research interests focus on the general area of Engineering and Applied Mathematics, specifically on Stochastic Dynamics and Uncertainty Quantification methodologies, with diverse applications in Civil and Mechanical Engineering as well as Engineering Mechanics. Analysing and assessing the reliability of complex engineering systems and structures in the presence of uncertainties constitutes his main research theme. Dr Fragkoulis is an Editorial Board Member of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (M.ASCE). Dr. Fragkoulis serves as a member of the Probabilistic Mechanics and the Dynamics Committees of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) and has previously served on the technical committees of the 9th International Symposium on Reliability Engineering and Risk Management (ISRERM2024) and of the 34th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2024). He has been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) since November 2024.
