ABSTRACT

The NHERI SimCenter has developed an application framework to study the
effects of earthquakes on society at the regional scale. This framework
demonstrates scientific workflows for regional earthquake damage and loss
estimation, that utilize either HPC resources at DesignSafe-CI for
large-scale simulations or local computational resources for testing,
development, and smaller-scale simulations. The extensible framework
presents an opportunity for community development to enhance simulation
capabilities and tackle complex scientific questions in natural hazards
research. In this webinar the framework will be introduced and a
demonstration will be given on how to run the workflow applications on a
local computer for small-scale regional simulations.

PRESENTERS

Frank McKenna's work focuses on developing software related to natural
hazards. Since completing a PhD from UC Berkeley, Frank has been a software
developer on a number of impactful projects. These included the PEER-funded
OpenSees framework, the DOE- and NRC-funded Real ESSI program, and the
NSF-funded NHERI SimCenter framework. Before attending UC Berkeley, Frank
worked in the architectural and engineering firm of SOM in London, UK as a
structural engineer. Wael Elhaddad is a Post-doctoral researcher at UC
Berkeley where he develops software for the NHERI SimCenter. He obtained
his PhD in Structural Engineering from the University of Southern
California and has industry experience working as a Software Engineer at
the Analytical Modeling Group in Bentley Systems.
