Assistant Professor
Floriana Petrone

Prospective graduate students

Prof. Petrone is currently looking for highly motivated graduate students to join her research group. Areas of research would include advanced numerical modeling of structural systems to couple with synthetic ground motions and uncertainty quantification in numerical modeling to gain knowledge on implications for optimal and risk-informed performance-based seismic design; experimental testing of innovative structural damage assessment techniques and development of system optimization methods.
