Spyros A. Karamanos, is Professor of Computational Structural Mechanics, at the University of Thessaly, Greece, Department of Mechanical Engineering. He teaches courses in Structural Mechanics and Finite Element Methods. From 2016-2019 he was Chair of Structural Engineering, at the School of Engineering, The University of Edinburgh.

Spyros specializes in structural mechanics and integrity of energy infrastructure systems, with emphasis on steel structures. His research interests focus on buckling and fatigue of pipelines and offshore structures, mainly tubular components and systems, using computational (finite element) methods, and experimental testing. His research has been funded primarily by European research projects, with the participation of European steel and pipeline industry. He has published more than 180 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings.

Spyros has a 5-year Diploma in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (1989), and received his PhD in Structural Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, USA (1993).

Prof. Mulgrew received his B.Sc. degree in 1979 from Queen's University Belfast. After graduation, he worked for 4 years as a Development Engineer in the Radar Systems Department at Ferranti, Edinburgh.

From 1983-1986 he was a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

He was appointed to lectureship in 1986, received his Ph.D. in 1987, promoted to senior lecturer in 1994 and became a reader in 1996.

The University of Edinburgh appointed him to a Personal Chair in October 1999 (Professor of Signals and Systems).

He currently holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Signal Processing.

His research interests are in adaptive signal processing and estimation theory and in their application to radar and audio systems.

Prof. Mulgrew is a co-author of three books on signal processing.
