PhD Opportunity inNext-generation Metafoundations for Enhanced Seismic Protection of Nuclear Power Plants exploiting Soil-Structure Interaction
Prof. Oreste Bursi, Full Professor at the University of Trento (Italy), and Dr. Davide Noè Gorini, Assistant Professor at the University of Trento, are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join their research group on Hazard protection of Civil Engineering Structures. The research project aims to advance the frontiers of Earthquake Engineering, Strucrtural and Geotechnical Engineering, and Metamaterials/Metastructures.
The selected PhD candidate will contribute to the design of cutting-edge 3D seismic protection solutions for next generation Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
This highly multidisciplinary project will benefit from a strong partnership with Prof. James Ricles and his research group (University of Lehigh, U.S.). Accordingly, the project also offers the possibility of spending a period abroad.

FROM SEISMOLOGY TO EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
A new MOOC entitled “From seismology to earthquake engineering” will start soon at École Polytechnique of IP Paris.
The course ranges from the earth structure, the generation of earthquakes and seismic waves by faults to the seismic response of soils, foundations and structures as well as seismic risk.
The teaser of the course is available here.
Info and free enrollment at this web-site.
