Dr Stylianos (Stelios) Yiatros is an Assistant Professor in Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics since October 2011. Prior to his election at the Cyprus University of Technology, he was a Lecturer in Structural Design at Brunel University in the UK. Stelios has secured a Marie Curie Intra European Fellowship and since early 2015 is undertaking experimental structural integrity and stability research at Cranfield University in the UK for 2 years. Stelios holds a Master of Engineering (First Class Hons) in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Imperial College London (UK) where he received the Prize for the Best Final Year Project with Industrial Application in Civil Engineering. He then pursued a doctorate in the field of nonlinear structural mechanics with a scholarship from Imperial College and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UK), which he successfully completed in 2010. During his studies at Imperial, Stelios was heavily involved in the teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Civil Engineering and in 2009 he was the first to be named the Best Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Stelios is a Member of the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK), Graduate Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Associate Member of the American Association of Civil Engineers (ASCE), member of Stability Committee of the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute and Associate of the City and Guilds of London Institute. He has also maintained a close contact with the civil engineering and the construction industry, having worked in the past in an engineering consultancy and contractors in Cyprus and the UK. Moreover, he was a member of the 2006 volunteering team of the El Salvador Project, visiting the country after a devastating earthquake to build earthquake resistant school buildings and sustainable sanitation infrastructure in remote communities, in collaboration with local NGOs. He has published articles in international peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings and is acting as a reviewer for high impact international journals. In 2008, Stelios and his collaborators received the Trevithick Prize for the Best Paper in Engineering Sustainability from the Institution of Civil Engineers. In 2015 he was awarded merit in Excellence in Structural Engineering Education by the Institution of Structural Engineers for his innovative teaching case study for Integrated Design. His research interests include topics of nonlinear structural stability such as mode interaction and buckling localization in thin-walled structures and composites, experimental structural stability and integrity of metal foam sandwich structures as well as sustainable construction methodologies. He is also interested in the use of novel tools to improve the intuitive understanding of structural behaviour and has contributed to the development of free online content for University Teachers through the Royal Academy of Engineering HE STEM scheme.
