Dr. Psarropoulos is a Structural and Geotechnical Engineer with almost three decades of balanced academic and industry experience in the analysis and design of complex structures and geostructures.
After earning his Ph.D. in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), he conducted advanced research across institutes in Greece and Italy. His academic trajectory includes serving as an adjunct Associate Professor of Geophysics and Earthquake Engineering at the Hellenic Air-Force Academy, as well as an Otto Mønsted Visiting Professor of Offshore Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering at Aarhus University in Denmark. He currently teaches Geotechnical Engineering at the School of Rural Surveying and Geoinformation Engineering of NTUA.
Complementing his academic career, Dr. Psarropoulos has acted as a consulting engineer on high-profile infrastructure projects internationally. His primary expertise lies in Geotechnics, Soil Dynamics, and Earthquake Engineering—with a specialized focus on static and dynamic soil-structure interaction (foundations, retaining structures, pipelines), slope and embankment stability, and numerical simulations of dynamic soil response (local site effects and microzonation studies). Notably, he was a key expert in the quantitative geohazard assessment and seismic design of two major high-pressure gas pipelines in south-east Europe (IGI-Poseidon and TAP).
