Dr Giaralis is Associate Professor at Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, leading the S3I research group on Smart Sustainable Structures and Energy Infrastructure, and Visiting Professor at City, University of London (CUoL). His research output documented in over 100 peer-reviewed articles are in structural dynamics with emphasis on wind and earthquake engineering applications focusing on probabilistic analysis methods and on vibration control and monitoring for high-performing structures.
Dr Panagiotis Mergos is Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering and the Programme Director of the MSc in Civil Engineering Structures at CUoL. He has worked for 18 years in seismic design and assessment of structures as a researcher and as a consultant and he is panel member of the UK Mirror Group MG2 developing the next integration of Eurocode 8, Part 1.
Dr Miguel Bravo-Haro is a Lecturer in Sustainable and Structural Engineering in the department of Civil Engineering at CUoL. His areas of research span from earthquake and seismological engineering, digital infrastructure and condition monitoring to data-driven and structural health monitoring. He has worked on applications of data-driven algorithms for early damage detection of railway bridges, development of low-cost sensors for structural monitoring in seismic regions and probabilistic methods applied to engineering problems.

This course delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
This course delivers practical advice through the use of worked examples on dynamic analysis, conceptual design for earthquake resistance and seismic design of structural elements to Eurocode 8. Emphasis is placed on concrete and steel buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.
This two-day course shows engineers how to arrive at a qualitative solution to both create a structure and check computational results.
This online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
