Biography

Background

Nikolas Ringas is a current PhD research student at the School of Engineering, The University of Edinbugh. He gained his BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of West Attica in 2016 and his MEng (Hons) in Civil Engineerig from the University of Edinburgh in 2020, with his thesis focusing on the calibration of a continuum damage mechanics model for low-cycle fatigue of metals. 

Then, he worked for The University of Edinburgh as a Research Assistant on a research programme funded by Construction Scotland Innovation Centre (CSIC) through the iCon challenge fund, where he conducted experiments on the fastener behaviour on sheathed light-gauge steel structures. His current research focuses on the experimental investigation of the behaviour observed in sheathed cold-formed steel frames under severe in-plane and out-of-plane loading conditions. This comes in parallel to a numerical investigation with the purpose of quantifying composite action in sheathed CFS frames.
