Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering
Dr Panagiotis Christodoulou is a Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering of Neapolis University Pafos. He holds a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Frederick University, an M.Sc. in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Design from the Cyprus University of Technology, and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the same university. His doctoral research focused on reducing statistical uncertainty in geotechnical engineering design through targeted field investigation using the theory of random fields. Before joining Neapolis University in August 2024, he worked as a Special Scientist at the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of the Cyprus University of Technology. His research interests are centered on advanced topics in geotechnical engineering, such as the integration of machine learning and artificial neural networks with numerical probabilistic analysis, the impact of soil spatial variability on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations, and the influence of ground acceleration on earth pressures. Dr Christodoulou has authored several academic papers in high-impact international journals and is a peer reviewer for prestigious geotechnical journals. In addition to his academic work, he has experience as a consultant geotechnical engineer, having worked on projects involving the design and stability of large earthfill water reservoirs, dam stabilization and slope stabilization using advanced techniques.
