 Research Interests

Professor Providakis’s technical areas of interest include the broad discipline of Mechanics of Materials and Structural Mechanics with emphasis in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM); smart sensors; and Nondestructive Testing.

Current research topics include: Innovative Reusable PZT sensors for Integrated Monitoring of Civil Infrastructures, Innovative PZT Sensors for Condition Monitoring of composite steel-concrete bridges and structures; PZT Acoustic Emission Sensors for real time monitoring of early-age concrete strength development and fracture; Development of MEMS based sensors for civil structural systems; PZT Distributed Sensor for Post Seismic Monitoring of Damaged Structures; Monitoring the state of repaired and Strengthened of concrete and metallic structures; Development of smart aggregate (SA) monitoring systems.
