On a lighter note

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Albert Einstein 
Phycisist, 1879-1955

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

Alumni


Dr. Anastasia Michaelidou-Kamenou
Dr. Kamenou is a graduate of the Technical University of Athens, and is UCY's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's first Ph.D. graduate in construction engineering and management (2007-2011). Her Ph.D. thesis, titled "A Unified Entropy Theory for the Management of Construction" focused on the use of entropic measures for managing construction processes, such as resource-constrained scheduling and budgetting. Dr. Michaelidou-Kamenou is the author/co-author of several journal and conference publications and of a book chapter in an internationally published book. She is currently employed at the strategic management division of Cyprus's telecommunications authority (CYTA).


Dr. Charalambos Georgiou
Dr. Charalambos Georgiou has studied at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Cyprus and holds a B.Sc. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering (2007), M.Sc. in Civil Engineering (2009) and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (2013). He specializes in Building Information Modeling, Integrated Damage Assessment, Three Dimensional Visualization, Cost Estimating and Time Scheduling for Post-Earthquake Reinforced Concrete Building Rehabilitation. During his graduate studies he has worked at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Cyprus as a Research Assistant on externally-funded research programs focused on Post-Earthquake Building Rehabilitation and as a Teaching Assistant in the courses of Earthquake Engineering, Steel Structures, Soil Mechanics, Foundations and Construction Management. Since 2009 he has been working as an Energy Officer in the Photovoltaic Systems and Energy Performance of Buildings Department at the Cyprus Institute of Energy. He has been also working at the EUPALINOS Lab, as a Research Associate (since December 2013) on an externally-funded project related to building energy efficiency (ISES).
