معرفی
Laurie Gaskins Baise is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Tufts School of Engineering, Tufts University. She leads the Geohazards Research Lab and directs the BSCE degree program. Her expertise lies in geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismic hazard mapping, and natural hazards mitigation.
Education:
- Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley (2000)
- M.S., University of California, Berkeley (2000 and 1997)
- B.S.E., Princeton University (1995)
Research Interests: Dr. Baise focuses on integrating predictive models with observational data to address geohazards like earthquakes and extreme wind events. Her work emphasizes regional seismic hazard mapping, liquefaction risk assessment, and rapid damage detection via remote sensing. She develops machine learning frameworks for post-disaster damage mapping and geospatial models for site response analysis.
Labs/Teams: She directs the Geohazards Lab at Tufts, which collaborates on projects involving satellite imagery, geostatistical methods, and deep learning for hazard response. Recent work includes liquefaction modeling in Türkiye and Ukraine, wildfire spread forecasting, and ensemble-based seismic hazard assessments.
Grants/Advising: Her research is supported by national and international grants. She mentors students in developing predictive models and remote sensing techniques for disaster resilience. Notable collaborations include work with the U.S. Geological Survey and global seismic networks.
