Scholar-generated biography
Domniki Asimaki is a researcher at the California Institute of Technology, focusing on geotechnical earthquake engineering. Her work explores ground motions, site effects, and soil-structure interaction, with an emphasis on how local soil conditions influence seismic behavior. She investigates site response, topographic amplification, and the dynamic properties of soils under seismic loading. Her research includes parametric studies of seismic motion, numerical simulations, and field observations from major earthquakes such as the 1999 Athens earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Asimaki also examines the impact of spatial variability in soil properties and the role of nonlinear soil behavior in earthquake simulations.
