Tiziana Rossetto FREng is a British–Italian structural engineer who is Professor of Earthquake Engineering at University College London. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2021.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Rossetto was born in Adelaide.[2] She attended St. George's British International School as a high school student, and moved to St Benedict's School in London as a sixth former. Rossetto was an undergraduate student at Imperial College London, where she studied civil engineering.[3] She stayed at Imperial as a graduate student, and earned an MSc in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics in 1999. Rossetto remained in earthquake engineering as a doctoral researcher, where she worked on the topic of seismic assessment of reinforced concrete building populations.[4] After graduating Rossetto worked as a structural engineer in London.[citation needed]
Research and career
[edit]In 2004 Rossetto joined University College London. At University College London Rossetto founded the EPICentre research group,[5] a collection of researchers evaluating the risk of tsunamis and earthquakes. Rossetto has participated in several field missions to evaluate the impact of earthquakes and tsunami on infrastructure.[6] including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Kashmir earthquake, Sichuan earthquake, L'Aquila earthquake and 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami. Rossetto is a specialist in the assessment of building vulnarability to earthquake and tsunami hazards.[2] In 2014, Rossetto was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant to investigate the vulnerability of structures to such natural hazards.,[7] where she collaborated with HR Wallingford to develop a new type of pneaumatic tsunami simulator. She was named the Stanford University Blume Earthquake Engineering Center Shah Lecturer in 2017.[8]
