    Dr. Lampros Vasiliades is an Assistant Professor in Engineering Hydrology at the Hydraulics & Environmental Engineering Sector, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece. He was awarded a B.Sc. in Environmental Science from the University of the Aegean, Greece (1995), a M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK (1996) and a PhD (2010) in Hydrology and Hydroinformatics from the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece. Mr. Vasiliades is a registered professional environmental scientist in Greece and member of the Greek Committee for Water Resources Management, the Hellenic Meteorological Society, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), the European Geosciences Union (EGU), the European Water Resources Association (EWRA), the Global Network for Environmental Sciences and Technology (Global Nest), the International Environmental Modelling & Software Society (iEMSs) and other professional and scientific organizations. He is Editor in Journals Water, Earth and Frontiers in Environmental Science and a regular reviewer in several international scientific journals. His research interests include: a) analysis, modelling, and forecasting of extreme hydrological events (floods and droughts), b) spatiotemporal analysis, estimation, and modelling of hydrometeorological and water quality data, c) deterministic and stochastic hydrological modelling, d) climate change impacts on the hydrological processes and water resources, e) water resources management, f) applications of geoinformatics on hydrology, water resources and hydrosystems and g) design and environmental impact assessment studies of hydrotechnical projects. Mr. Vasiliades is the author and co-author of more than 100 publications in refereed journals, international conference proceedings and technical reports. His published work has received over 1450 citations, as indicated in Scopus database search with h-index=20 and over 2700 citations, as indicated in Google Scholar database search (h-index=24, i-10-index=30). He has participated in several national and European research projects on hydrology, water resources management and the use of remote sensing and GIS in hydrology and water resources and he is National Representative and/or Substitute Member of Greece in COST Actions (i.e. COST ES1404, COST ES0901, CA15206).
