National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)
The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is the oldest and largest educational institution of Greece in the field of technology. The high research standards of NTUA are proved by the numerous publications in international scientific journals and the proceedings of international Conferences as well as by the prominent place of NTUA among Europeans Universities, due to the increasing number of research projects financed by the EU and other funding bodies. Past EU funding includes numerous H2020, FP6 and FP7 projects, five ERC IDEAS Grants and several Marie-Curie networking projects. The Laboratory of Engineering Geology – Hydrogeology (LEGAH) is an institutionalized Laboratory in which operates two fully equipped laboratories covering all geotechnical and hydrogeological testing fields and also a variety of soft-computing software for performing numerical simulation. Also, LEGAH NTUA has a wide experience in performing spatiotemporal analysis within a GIS environment applying statistical and machine learning techniques capable to handle geosciences problems. The main research topics addressed include among others: the study and treatment of natural disasters (landslides, land subsidence, subsidence, soil erosion, floods), the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning methods and techniques as well as advanced spatial analysis techniques in the management of natural disasters, determining the effect of Climate Change on the occurrence of natural disasters.
