The third presentation organized by EERI@LU will be on Friday February 28th at 1:00PM in Fritz Lab 225, given by Dr. Troy Morgan.
Dr. Morgan is is a Senior engineer working with Exponent in New York and Adjunct Faculty at NYU. Dr. Morgan has performed extensive research on the numerical simulation and experimental behavior of innovative seismic systems and optimization of
their use within performance-based engineering frameworks. He
consulting experience includes essential structures such as healthcare
facilities, laboratories, industrial buildings, and critical
infrastructure having enhanced seismic performance criteria. Prior to
joining Exponent, Dr. Morgan was Assistant Professor at the Center for
Urban Earthquake Engineering at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in
Japan. He received B.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees all from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a registered Professional Engineer in CA, NY, NJ, and CT.
The title of Dr. Morgan's presentation is "Technical Consulting: The Intersection of Mythbusters, CSI, and Earthquake Engineering." The modern era of civilization is marked my immense networks of complicated, interdependent systems and rapidly evolving technologies. Many of these technologies, while born from academia, are implemented and refined in the world of industry. As today’s complex ideas are put into practice, there is an increasing tendency for things to fail, and an urgent desire to prevent such failures. This is the realm of technical consulting, and the subject of this talk. Several projects from earthquake engineering, including nuclear reliability analysis, earthquake reconnaissance, and post-event damage investigation are presented to highlight the broader role of technical consultants in a world which increasingly depends on sophisticated engineering to protect itself from natural catastrophe.
CEE undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and staff are encouraged to attend the seminar.
