Stergios Emmanouil is an assistant professor in the UCF Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering. His research focuses on developing tools to quantify uncertainty within environmental processes and engineered systems, advancing stochastic modeling of natural and anthropogenic hazards to assess risk and improve critical infrastructure resilience, as well as promoting engineering and environmental design under the influence of climate change. From 2023 to 2025, he served as an assistant research professor at the University of Connecticut, where he led efforts on climate-informed risk assessment and grid resilience. His research involves close collaboration with stakeholders across government agencies, the industry, and local communities, to inform the development of adaptive strategies for critical infrastructure resilience. In parallel, he has mentored both undergraduate and graduate students, many of whom have gone on to secure positions at both private and public organizations.

Emmanouil earned his Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Connecticut, where he was a member of the Eversource Energy Center. He holds a Master of Science in Hydraulic Engineering from Delft University of Technology, specializing in hydraulic structures and flood risk, and a diploma in civil engineering from the University of Patras. He is a licensed professional civil engineer in Greece and a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece since 2017. Emmanouil currently serves as an associate editor for Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, Water Resources Research, and the Journal of Hydrology, and actively reviews for leading journals in the fields of hydrology, civil engineering and risk modelling.
