Biography

Katerina Genikomsou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University. She completed her PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo in January 2016, where her doctoral research focused on nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete flat slabs to investigate their punching shear behavior. She holds a post-doctoral fellowship from the University of Waterloo, during which she performed material testing on Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars. Katerina's research includes modeling analysis of reinforced concrete structures, finite element analysis of these structures, and exploring novel materials like fiber reinforced polymers and their connections. She is an associate member of various ACI and ASCE committees, contributing to advancements in concrete engineering. Throughout her career, Katerina has been dedicated to improving education in concrete design and analysis, supporting learning initiatives within her field.
