Christos holds a Diploma (5-year program, integrated master) in Civil Engineering with major in Structural Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA, 2013), an M.Sc. in Analysis and Design of Earthquake Resistant Structures (2016) and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (2022) from the same university. His Ph.D. dissertation is entitled “Seismic response standardization and risk assessment of simple rocking bodies: Cultural heritage protection, content losses, and decision support solutions”. Dr. Lachanas joined the School of Civil Engineering at NTUA in 2018 as a Ph.D. candidate and now works as a research associate (post-doctoral researcher) and member of The Lambda Lab research group. Christos’ research interests are focused on the investigation of the seismic response and risk assessment of rocking structures (e.g., monuments, building contents etc.) via nonlinear analysis methods and state-of-the-art probabilistic methodologies. Moreover, he is also interested into the structural dynamics, the quantification of the uncertainties that are associated with the seismic response of structures, and the performance-based earthquake engineering in general. He has worked as a Teaching Assistant in the School of Civil Engineering, NTUA (2019-2022), for undergraduate and post-graduate courses teaching the Design of Steel Structures, Seismic Assessment of Structures and other courses. He is participating in research projects, co-funded by EU and Greek agencies. Christos is a licensed Civil Engineer (2014) and works as a self-employed consultant engineer since 2014.
