Vasilis Sarhosis

Vasilis Sarhosis completed his Undergraduate and Master’s degree in Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Leeds in 2005. He then spent time working in the industry as a graduate Civil Engineer in two of the largest consult engineering companies in UK, MWH Global and Gronmij. In 2007, he returned to Leeds to study for a PhD in Computational Modelling of Materials and Structures where he developed a tool that can be used to improve understanding of the in-service and near collapse behaviour of low bond strength masonry and compare and evaluate alternative methods of rehabilitation, repair or strengthening of masonry structures. He is currently a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Newcastle University.
