PhDTalks | Towards Faster Earthquake Decisions: Advances in Real-Time Earthquake Response Systems
Maggio 6 @ 17:00 - 18:30
Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 6 Maggio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A), dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET.
PhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento.
Lo speaker Ileana Elizabeth Monsalvo Franco condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Towards Faster Earthquake Decisions: Advances in Real-Time Earthquake Response Systems”.
Al termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento.
Sarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link.
Abstract
Rapid earthquake response can mean the difference between lives saved and lives lost. Accurately identifying the most affected areas in near real time allows emergency services to act more effectively. However, delivering accurate damage estimates in near real time requires significant computational power, something that is increasingly accessible thanks to modern advances in high-performance computing. This talk presents innovative projects that harness high-performance computing for seismic emergency response, from operational early warning systems and real-time impact assessment tools to cutting-edge workflows using Urgent Computing. The presentation will also include the ongoing PhD research focused on the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy, where 3D physics-based simulations are being developed to support rapid, data-informed decision-making.
Speaker’s bio
Ileana holds a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Earthquake Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2023), and a Civil Engineering degree from UNAM in Mexico. She is currently a PhD candidate in Structural, Seismic, and Geotechnical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Her research focuses on near real-time earthquake impact assessment using high-fidelity 3D physics-based simulations. In particular, she is working on the development of an automated workflow for the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, aiming to support emergency decision-making through urgent computing and realistic ground motion modeling.
