This Project Grant award, titled "CAREER: Toward the Next Generation Data-Informed Probabilistic Framework for Infrastructure Seismic Risk Assessment and Uncertainty Quantification," is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering for Civil Infrastructure (ECI) program (CFDA 47.041). The award provides $287,739 to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), to conduct research aimed at (1) establishing a methodological and computational framework to leverage new simulation data for extreme natural disaster scenarios and (2) seamlessly integrating this knowledge into probabilistic demand and hazard models. The research seeks to improve the reliability of infrastructure risk assessment methods, particularly for extreme seismic events, by harnessing machine learning techniques and integrating extensive simulation data. The project will also contribute to educational and outreach activities related to resilience engineering and risk mitigation. This award, effective June 1, 2025, will be completed by May 31, 2030.
