Vasilis Karamitros completed his PhD in Computational Micromechanics at Imperial College London. He will be collaborating with Dr. Michael Sangid, the Reilly Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Dr. Thomas Siegmund, Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Their project will focus on developing physics-based crystal plasticity methods for predicting fatigue fracture and fatigue life on 3D virtual microstructures of materials used in aerospace applications. Dr. Karamitros’ primary research interest lies in the mechanics of materials, with a specific emphasis on micromechanics at the microstructural level.
