University of Cyprus
The University of Cyprus was officially founded in 1989 and started operating in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, in 1992. Within a short time, the University of Cyprus managed to achieve international recognition through an impressive course of development. Today, it is ranked 67th young university (under 50 years) and #251-300 worldwide in Engineering and Technology by the Times New Higher Education Rankings. These great distinctions are the result of its dedication to excellence and continuous development. The University of Cyprus managed to stand out and receive awards for the new paths it has opened up in particularly demanding and dynamic contexts of research. The University of Cyprus becomes better every year; therefore, it wishes to attract the best employees.
Geomechanics Research for Energy and the Environment
Many of the engineering problems in Oil & Gas exploration, development and production and in Envrironmental applications are characterized by coupled physical processes such as time-dependent thermo-hydro-mechanical ones which may include changes in the geometry as well. The research work aims at understanding of the involved processes, to express them in mathematical models and to develop efficient computational techniques for the solution of such problems.
