Aerospace Structures and Materials, TU Delft, The Netherlands
Brief Autobiography:
I studied Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. After my two masters, in Mechanical Engineering and in Aeronautics and Astronautics (1984), I started to focus on structures, especially composite materials. After graduating, I worked at various companies in the aerospace industry: at Wichita Kansas Beech Aircraft (until 1987), at Sikorsky Aircraft (until 2001) and then as a consultant for various American airline companies, from Athens. I joined TU Delft in 2008. To my surprise, in 2012 I was proclaimed Teacher of the Year. When I asked for this position [at TU Delft], I was skeptical at first. I think teaching is a big responsibility and did not know if I could do it and would like it. But I think it is great. What makes Delft special is that we not only use science, but also try to close the gap between science and industry. When I was still working in the US, I already knew the reputation of TU Delft.
