معرفی
Dr. Paolo Bergamo is a Senior Researcher at the Swiss Seismological Service (SED), ETH Zurich, since April 2016. He specializes in engineering seismology, focusing on earthquake site response models, ground-motion modeling, and seismic risk assessment. His work includes projects such as the Earthquake Risk Model Switzerland (ERM-CH23) and the SERA Horizon2020 initiative. He holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from Politecnico di Torino (2012) and advanced degrees in Environmental Engineering. Key research areas include soil amplification analysis, geophysical surveys, and the integration of empirical and computational methods for seismic hazard mitigation. His contributions span microzonation studies, site characterization using borehole and ambient vibration data, and the development of design-compatible waveforms for Swiss building codes.
Education:
- PhD in Water and Territory Management Engineering, Politecnico di Torino (2012)
- MSc and BSc in Environmental Engineering, Politecnico di Torino (2008, 2005)
Research Interests: Dr. Bergamo’s work emphasizes the collation of empirical ground-motion data with building codes, spatial modeling of soil amplification, and geophysical site characterization. He employs advanced techniques like surface-wave analysis, machine learning, and canonical correlation for seismic hazard assessment.
Projects & Grants:
- ERM-CH23: Site response implementation and national seismic risk modeling
- SERA Project (Horizon2020): Site characterization indicators
- Swiss Federal Office for Environment-funded studies on microzonation and geophysical monitoring
Labs & Teams: Active contributor to the Engineering Seismology group at SED, leading efforts in alpine valley seismic modeling and offshore site characterization in Lake Lucerne.
