Bio
Theofanis Plagianakos received his Diploma and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics of the University of Patras in 1999 and 2005, respectively. During his PhD Thesis (2000-2005) he developed finite elements for the prediction of the damped dynamic response of composite structures with piezoelectric components. He has worked in the areas of inflatable beams (2006-2008, EMPA CH), engineering design of railway bogies (2009-2011, PROSE Ltd CH) and impact on sandwich composite structures with piezoelectric transducers (Marie Curie IEF 2012-2014). He is currently working on piezoelectric energy harvesting and control.
