معرفی
Dr. Safak Arslantürkoglu is a Research Fellow at ETH Zurich's Professorship for Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering. He holds a structural engineering diploma from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2013) and a PhD from ETH Zurich (2023) focused on seismic risk assessment. His professional experience includes practical structural assessment at Baertschi Partner Consulting and founding LEO Consulting for structural retrofitting.
Research interests center on seismic safety of existing structures, particularly unreinforced masonry buildings in low-to-moderate seismicity regions. Key focus areas include:
- Collapse risk quantification
- Fatality risk modeling
- Nonlinear dynamic analysis
- Building code development
- Cost-effective retrofitting strategies
Publications primarily address earthquake vulnerability frameworks, with recent works emphasizing graphical risk assessment methods and probabilistic seismic evaluation. Supervisory experience includes advising 25+ Master's students on topics spanning seismic evaluation, energy-efficient retrofitting, and Swiss building code comparisons.
