Prof. Themistoklis P Sapsis

Dr. Sapsis's research interests focus on the development of mathematical techniques for the description of dynamical systems characterized by the presence of complex nonlinear processes and uncertainty. Specifically, he has contributions on (1) the development of computational methods for the uncertainty quantification and order-reduction of turbulent fluid flows rising in flows that interact with structures, (2) the probabilistic characterization (risk analysis) of vibrational systems excited by stochastic forces, and iii) the development of targeted energy transfer methods by means of nonlinear oscillators for the passive protection/control of structural systems excited by external forces.
