Dimitrios Konstantinidis is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC Berkeley. He received his BS in 1999, his MS in 2001, and his PhD in 2008, all at Berkeley.

His postdoctoral research focuses on the development of a robust technology for monitoring the health of fluid viscous dampers in bridges using a wireless communication networks.

His graduate school research has included:

Rocking and sliding of rigid structures. The Rocking-Spectrum (with Professor Nicos Makris).
Seismic response analysis of monolithic and multi-drum classical columns (with Professor Nicos Makris).
Experimental and analytical studies on the seismic response of freestanding and restrained building contents (with Professor Nicos Makris).
Experimental and analytical studies on the performance of thermal expansion bridge bearings under seismic loading (with Professors James M. Kelly and Nicos Makris).
