Teaching Interests
Professor Antoniou’s teaching interests center on foundational mechanical engineering subjects, specifically solid mechanics. She is committed to delivering rigorous instruction at both undergraduate and graduate levels, emphasizing hands-on learning and the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge. Her teaching approach encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for advancing in mechanical engineering disciplines.
Research Interests
Professor Antoniou’s research focuses on the design, processing, and characterization of advanced material systems, with particular emphasis on flexible and functional materials. Her work investigates structure–property–performance relationships using experimental mechanics, materials characterization, and data-driven analysis to understand material reliability and behavior under mechanical and environmental loading. Her research addresses open-ended, interdisciplinary problems that connect fundamental materials research with real-world engineering applications. She actively involves graduate and undergraduate students in research projects that bridge theoretical analysis and experimental validation to improve system reliability.
