Senior Scientist Technology
Synapses of my experience: earthquake related hazard analysis; ground motions selection, modelling and prediction; structural seismic response analysis, vulnerability analysis and seismic risk/loss evaluation.
My research interests progress from seismology and earthquake engineering towards structural engineering. Currently, my research includes, but is not necessarily limited to: probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, particularly model development, technical integration and software development. Other areas of expertise are ground motion characterization and modelling for use in seismic hazard. Also, I am interested in structural modelling and structural vulnerability assessment with application to seismic risk assessment.
