Biography:
Georgios Maniatis completed his PhD in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences and the School of Computing Sciences at the University of Glasgow. He has completed a 5-year diploma in Environmental Engineering and an MSc degree in Freshwater System Sciences. During his PhD he focused on the Environmental Sensor Networks and the construction of a sensing system optimized to monitor the dynamics of sediment transport processes in fluvial systems. This project included the evaluation, extension and redefinition of the criteria that are relevant to the incipient motion of coarse sediments so they are compatible with the sensing equipment available today. In this context, he works on improving the prediction power of sediment transport models with the analysis of inertial data derived by cheap MEMS sensors (commercially available and customized).  

Research Interests: 

- Incipient motion of coarse sediments
