Biography
George Mavroeidis’ research interests lie in the areas of engineering seismology, earthquake engineering, structural dynamics and structural mechanics, and include topics related to mechanics and physics of earthquakes, deterministic and stochastic ground motion simulations, fracture and frictional processes, seismic hazard and risk analysis, and computational modeling. Prior to joining CUA in 2007, he held research appointments at the State University of New York at Buffalo, the Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering in Greece, and the University of California, San Diego.
