Luis Ceferino

Luis Ceferino is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on multi-hazard risk analysis, reliability of critical infrastructure systems, climate adaptation and disaster resilience, performance-based earthquake engineering, and artificial intelligence in civil engineering. Ceferino's work combines structural modeling, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, and optimization to assess the impact of extreme events on urban systems and develop strategies for resilience. He has collaborated with international teams and conducted post-disaster reconnaissance following events such as the 2016 Ecuador Earthquake and the 2023 Turkey-Syria Earthquake. Ceferino previously served as an Assistant Professor at New York University and a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University.

Luis Ceferino is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on multi-hazard risk analysis and the resilience and reliability of critical infrastructure systems. His work explores the impacts of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, on healthcare systems, power networks, and urban environments. Ceferino employs probabilistic models, machine learning, and geostatistical methods to quantify uncertainties and improve risk assessment. His research also addresses the integration of renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, into resilient infrastructure. By combining computational simulations with real-world data, he contributes to the development of strategies for disaster preparedness and recovery.
