Elpida Georgiou completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering at Cyprus University of Technology in 2011. She then continued her studies in London and gained her Master’s Degree in Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management from UCL in 2012. In 2020, she completed her PhD on the “Seismic Retrofitting of RC Frames with RC Infilling” in the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of Cyprus University of Technology under the supervision of Professor Christis Chrysostomou. Her research interests are concentrated on the assessment and retrofitting of existing structures.

At the moment, Elpida is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of Cyprus University of Technology. During her study years, Elpida has worked as a Research Fellow for the Research Program ‘SERFIN’ in 2013, which her supervising Professor, Dr. Christi Chrysostomou has taken on at the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of Cyprus University of Technology. She has also been entitled as an External Special Fellow of her Department to undertake the completion of a proposal under the Program ‘Horizon 2020’ in 2014, 2016 and in 2017. In addition, Elpida has worked for the “Nonlinear analysis of RC frames with RC infill walls” and for the “Modeling of the behavior of dowels within RC members” as an External Special Fellow from 2015 to 2020. Further, she has worked as a Special Research Fellow for the organization and execution of a summer Educational Program ‘Climate-KIC Journey’ in 2018, 2019 and 2020 under the guidance of the Assistant Professor Dr. Styliano Yiatro. Moreover, Elpida has been entitled as a Special Research Fellow for the preparation of report for the ‘ARISTA’ Research Program regarding a proposal to IPE Programs at the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics under the guidance of the Professor Dr. Christis Chrysostomou in 2018. Furthermore, she has been a Research Fellow at the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts within the framework of the European Research Program ‘Enginite’ in 2018-2019. Also, she has been a Research Fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics for the European Research Program ‘Young Innovators Cyprus 2020’. Elpida, has also offered teaching assistance and lab support at her department for undergraduate courses and tutorial support at the Student Development Center during her study years.

She is a member of the Technical Chamber of Cyprus (ETEK), the Society of Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics in London (SECED) and the Society of Civil Engineers of Cyprus (SPOLMIK).
