Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIoannis Christovasilis is a director, civil/structural engineer and software-oriented practitioner with 15+ years bridging seismic timber design and engineering automation. He co-founded Aether Engineering to deliver structural design and bespoke software tooling for the AEC sector, combining hands-on finite element modeling with web-based user experiences to streamline verification and post-processing. His PhD work and early career included full-scale shake table experiments and nonlinear numerical frameworks for light-frame wood buildings, while professional roles in Italy emphasized CLT design and developing in-house applications. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed backend fixes to the widely used meshio project—improving MED format handling and coordinate naming—to better integrate open solvers like Code_Aster into automated workflows. Based in Florence, he blends academic rigor (PhD, SUNY Buffalo) with pragmatic product thinking to help engineering teams do more with less.
