Dimitris Karamitros is an Associate Professor at the University of Bristol, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering with a focus on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering. His research is centered around constitutive modeling, particularly the monotonic and cyclic behavior of non-cohesive soils, and numerical implementation of user-defined models in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional explicit finite difference codes. He has extensive experience in fully-coupled effective-stress dynamic analysis and addresses liquefaction-related problems, emphasizing performance-based design for shallow foundations in liquefiable sand and the seismic design of buried steel pipelines. His contributions also involve seismic ground response, making significant strides in the field of earthquake geotechnical engineering.
Department of Physics research themes include Astrophysics, Materials and Devices, Particle Physics, and Quantum and Soft Matter.
