Nick was born in Komotini, Greece (1968). He graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of the National Technical University of Athens (1991) and he awarded his MSc degree from UMIST and PhD degree from the National Technical University of Athens in the field of the seismic design of reinforced concrete
He has been involved in the structural design in big size and complex projects such as Metro Stations, industrial steel buildings, bridges, special structures, repair and strengthening of existing concrete and masonry buildings etc.
He was elected president of the Association of Civil Engineers of Greece from 2009 to 2012 and now he is member in various scientific committees.
He is the author of several scientific papers and co-author of various technical books.
Nick founded Lithos Consulting Engineers and since then is the CEO of the company.
