ABOUT/BIOGRAPHY

Eirini is a Civil Engineer specializing in advanced cementitious materials for sustainable construction and heritage preservation. She holds a Diploma in Civil Engineering from the University of Patras, an MSc in Concrete Science and Technology, and a PhD from Delft University of Technology, where she developed biogenic self-healing cementitious materials using encapsulated bacteria.

Her research focuses on self-healing concrete, adaptive and resilient renovation materials for historic buildings, multifunctional cementitious composites, and self-sensing nanocomposites, with an emphasis on “smart” materials that enhance durability, crack-healing, and structural performance.

Within the research group, she develops and experimentally validates innovative cementitious systems, including materials with self-healing properties and corrosion inhibitors, contributing to interdisciplinary projects and pilot-scale applications.

She currently serves as Project Manager of the EU-funded SINCERE project, while her research is focusing on resilient and sustainable renovation of historic structures. Her work includes collaborations with European academic and industrial partners, participation in EU-funded projects, and contributions to RILEM/TC 253-MCI. She has authored several peer-reviewed publications and regularly presents her work at international conferences.
