Ioannis M. Dokas is Professor of Safety and Performance of Engineering Systems in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH), Xanthi, Greece, where he leads the Risk and Resilience Research Centre (RiskAC) and directs research on systems safety and resilience. He holds a Diploma in Civil Engineering and a PhD on the provision of early-warning services for infrastructures using web-based expert systems. A two-time recipient of EU Marie Curie fellowships, he spent eight years at research institutes in Germany (Universität Paderborn) and Ireland (Cork Constraint Computation Centre). His research applies systems theory (STAMP, STPA, CAST), resilience engineering and, increasingly, artificial intelligence to the analysis of hazards, accidents and resilience across critical infrastructure, including transport and railway systems, water systems, construction sites and disaster response. He served on the Editorial Board of Safety Science (Elsevier) from 2020 to 2026 and is a member of the IFIP Working Group on IT in Disaster Risk Reduction. He also works as a railway safety consultant on Safety Management Systems and regulatory compliance.
