Guest Lecture: Stephanos Theodossiades Stephanos Theodossiades graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with a Dipl-Ing in Mechanical Engineering (in 1995) and with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (in 2000). After a career break due to compulsory military service in the Greek Air Force, he joined Loughborough University (Wolfson School) in 2002 as Research Associate and then Research Fellow. In 2003 he continued his employment in Wolfson School as a Lecturer in Engineering Dynamics, progressing to Senior Lecturer (2007), Reader (2011) and Professor of Dynamics (2015). Stephanos has led and collaborated on a variety of research projects (funded by Research Councils, Innovation Agencies, as well as directly from industry) across a range of engineering dynamics and tribology topics. His research focuses on two streams: i) Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) and efficiency of propulsion systems with emphasis on automotive powertrains; ii) Self-powered sensing for structural health and environmental monitoring, including energy harvesting and custom-made sensing design. He is currently serving as Associate Editor for the Journal of Vibration and Control (since 2024) and Meccanica (since 2021).
