Research Area

The research interests of Nicos Makris include the design and protection of structures against natural and man-made hazards in association with the development and testing of response-modification devices, the analysis and design of seismic isolated and rocking structures—from tall valley bridges, rocking walls in buildings and historic structures together with soil-structure interaction.

Makris has also research interests in rheology and fractional calculus; while from 2003 to 2009 he directed the reconstruction of the North-East corner of the 4th century BC Temple of Zeus in Nemea, Greece:

Legacy

In 2020, a new species of snake from the Western Ghats of India, Ahaetulla farnsworthi, was named after the character. One of the researchers, Achyuthan Srikanthan, was a fan of the show and character, and the species was named after Farnsworth as a reference to the character's attempts to revive barking snakes from extinction.[1][2]
