Professor Georgia Kremmyda

Biography

I am Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick and currently serve as Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Teaching) for the university, providing strategic academic leadership across curriculum and programme design, assessment, digital learning and AI in education, academic development, professional accreditation, and pedagogic innovation.

I am a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (PFHEA, Advance HE), recognised for sustained strategic leadership in education. My contribution to education has been acknowledged through a National Teaching Fellowship, a Warwick Award for Teaching Excellence, the Distinguished Woman in Engineering Award from the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES), and election as a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (FICE).

Previously, I have held senior faculty, institutional and departmental roles including Chair (Education and Student Experience) for the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine, STEM Education and Student Experience Lead, and Head of Education in the School of Engineering. Across these roles, I have led education strategy and policy across large, complex portfolios, and have developed innovative initiatives such as curriculum frameworks, interdisciplinary programmes and transformative learning spaces.

Externally, I have led large-scale, multi-million-pound educational interventions funded by the Office for Students, European Commission, Royal Academy of Engineering, Research England, British Council, and others. I have served as Elected Vice President and Board Director of INWES, a UNESCO-affiliated NGO representing over 250,000 women engineers and scientists globally, contributing to UN Women Commission on the Status of Women discussions on education, technology, and equity.

My academic background is in earthquake engineering and civil engineering, complemented by 13 years in industry. As a teaching-focused academic, my research explores how interdisciplinary education - bridging science, engineering, business, the arts, and social sciences - can cultivate technical ingenuity and professional stewardship, equipping graduates to navigate complex global risks through integrated technical, ethical, and societal perspectives.

My practice as a Leader promotes joined-up approaches, that can bring together disparate and disharmonious voices to find solutions. As an Educator, I create models which protect disciplinary identities while preventing artificial separation of knowledge, skills and behaviours.
