RESEARCH
Vasileios' research interests span a range of topics involving the micro-to-macro study of particulate materials, including:
- Discrete Element Modelling of granular materials using multi-sphere, polyhedral and potential particles
- Effects of particle size and shape on the mechanical response of granular systems
- Image-informed numerical modelling for materials with irregular grains
- Creating seamless algorithmic workflows between digital imaging and numerical modelling
- Understanding the meso and macro response of soils using observations from the micro-scale
- Advanced constitutive relationships of contact laws for rough surfaces, irregular contact regions, friction
- Development of novel formulations to characterise particle morphology
- Open-source code development for particle imaging, characterisation, and modelling purposes
