Dr. Andrew Sen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at Marquette University's College of Engineering. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he specializes in structural engineering with a focus on earthquake-resistant design and steel structures.
Educational Background:
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (2018) - University of Washington at Seattle
- M.S. in Civil Engineering (2014) - University of Washington at Seattle
- B.S. in Civil Engineering (2012) - North Carolina State University at Raleigh
Research Focus: Dr. Sen's research expertise encompasses several critical areas in structural engineering, particularly in structural steel components and systems where he investigates the behavior of steel structures under extreme loading conditions. His work in natural hazards engineering addresses the critical need for resilient infrastructure in earthquake-prone regions. He has made significant contributions to repair and retrofit of existing structures, developing innovative methods to enhance the seismic performance of aging infrastructure. His expertise in large-scale experimentation allows for validation of theoretical models through physical testing, while his work on nonlinear structural analysis methods provides advanced computational tools for predicting structural behavior under seismic loading.
Teaching Contributions: Dr. Sen teaches several key courses in structural engineering including Structural Analysis (CEEN 3410), Structural Steel Design (CEEN 3430), Advanced Structural Steel Design (CEEN 4431/5431), and Earthquake Engineering (CEEN 6425).
Research Publications: His extensive publication record demonstrates a clear focus on seismic performance of steel structures, particularly in chevron-configured concentrically braced frames. His work spans from fundamental research on nonlinear modeling to practical applications in seismic design and assessment of existing structures. Recent publications show his expanding interests in bridge engineering and flood impact assessment, indicating a broadening of his research scope to address multiple natural hazards.
