Dr Marios Stanitsas
Title: Sustainability in project management: Investigating the significance of sustainability indicators for the construction industry
Year: 2016-2022 (part-time)
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Associate Professor Konstantinos KirytopoulosThesis language: English
This Thesis explores the indicators that affect the integration of sustainability into project management practices of construction projects. Though many indicators that contribute to the implementation of sustainable construction projects have been identified in the literature, project managers face several issues in their proper use due to the lack of a comprehensive classification. This Thesis combines the views of all construction project stakeholders and delivers the most contributing sustainable project management indicators that lead to sustainable construction projects.

Title: Project-as-Practice: Applying Bourdieu's Theory of Practice on Project Managers
Year: 2014-2020
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Associate Professor Konstantinos KirytopoulosThesis language: English
This research explores project management practice from a social point of view correlating the field of sociology with the field of project management. The research included a deep analysis of more than five hundred (500) books, papers, and theses, most of which can be seen in the list of references. Main aim of the research is to add a new direction to the "Project-As-Practice" research agenda by applying and extending the Bourdieusian Theory of Practice.

Title: Development of a decision-making model for selecting risk tools and techniques for construction project management
Year: 2013-2019Affiliation: University of South Australia
Primary supervisor: A/Prof. Konstantinos KirytopoulosThesis language: English
The aim of this research is to extend the existing knowledge of risk management (RM) practice in construction projects to determine what processes underpin decision making and which tools and techniques are relevant to this process.

Title: Developing a quantitative fire risk assessment method for critical infrastructures: The case of road tunnels
Year: 2013-2019
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Professor Ilias TatsiopoulosThesis language: English
This PhD Thesis poposes a novel approach for enhancing the level of safety of road tunnels. The approach consists of two main methods, SIREN and EVADE that support the operational risk assessment and decision making for additional safety measures, respectively.

Title: Development of a process reference model for construction supply chains: the contractor's view
Year: 2014-2018
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Professor Ilias TatsiopoulosThesis language: English
This PhD Thesis is proposing a process reference model for construction supply chains focussing on the contractor. The outcomes, provide academics with a tool to integrate the provided processes with other supply chain views such as risk management or decision support systems. Practitioners can benefit from the specific characteristics of the model (structure, verbal and diagrammatic descriptions, developed in free software) in order to improve, benchmark and compare the performance of specific project supply chains or the performance of their entire supply chain practices and strategies.

Title: Responding to risk of safety critical infrastructures through a systems thinking approach: the case study of road tunnels
Year: 2010-2013
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Assistant Professor Konstantinos KirytopoulosThesis language: English
This PhD Thesis is about how risks in road tunnels should be managed. Risks from collisions, vehicle fire and vehicles transporting dangerous goods are currently quantified mainly by using Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) procedures in order to make rational decisions regarding road tunnels safety. The research question in this Thesis is how risk management in road tunnels could be incorporated with Systems Safety principles in order to achieve maximum possible safety in such infrastructures.

Title: Decision Making in Project Management: Multi Objective Extended Resource Constrained Project Scheduling
Year: 2010-2013
Affiliation: National Technical University of Athens
Primary supervisor: Assistant Professor Konstantinos KirytopoulosThesis language: English
A holistic approach is proposed for defining the resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The Thesis aim is to give a formulation of the project scheduling problem where all deterministic aspects that have been previously explored in the relevant literature are covered.
