Angeliki Grammatikopoulou

Dr Angeliki Grammatikopoulou is a chartered civil engineer with more than 20 years’ experience in academia and industry. She specialises in soil characterisation, advanced constitutive modelling and numerical analysis of complex geotechnical problems, including foundations (onshore and offshore), retaining walls, deep excavations, tunnels and dams.

Dr Grammatikopoulou has worked on prestigious commercial and infrastructure projects in the UK and abroad. Her offshore work includes the analysis of foundations for numerous offshore wind farms. She has extensive experience of tunnel and building damage assessments and in recent years she has been working extensively on mine waste disposal.
