Dr Themelina Paraskeva
Themelina holds a Ph.D. degree in Civil (Structural) Engineering, a M.Sc. degree in Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures, and a five-year Diploma in Civil Engineering, from the Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki (Greece). Prior to joining Edith Cowan University, Themelina was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong) for three years. The primary area of her research is Structural and Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, with a particular focus on Bridge Engineering, covering analytical, numerical and experimental work. Most recently, Themelina expanded her research interests into new interdisciplinary research areas that promote sustainability and resilience in construction; these areas are related to nonconventional green structural materials, as well as to novel indirect system identification methods for structural health monitoring of transport infrastructure. In addition to her academic qualifications, Themelina has combined her research with extensive work in the Civil Engineering industry in Greece. She is a Licenced (Chartered) Civil Engineer (EurIng), and has worked as a Structural Engineer and Project Manager for more than ten years, taking part in both heavy civil engineering projects and smaller-scale works.
