个人简介
There he currently serves as a Task Leader for the Engineering & Risk project and collaborates with the National Seismic Hazard Modeling Project. He also serves as a USGS Liaison on numerous external engineering committees (e.g., of the American Society of Civil Engineers) that develop the seismic provisions of U.S. construction codes. His research primarily focuses on methods used in designing or retrofitting structures to resist earthquakes, such as the risk-targeted approach that was adopted in U.S. building codes in 2009. Dr. Luco also conducts research on probabilistic assessment of the risk to structures and people from natural hazards, mostly earthquakes but more recently rockfalls as well. Prior to joining the USGS in 2004, Dr. Luco was a Senior Analysis Engineer with the catastrophe risk modeling company AIR Worldwide Corporation.
As one of a growing handful of civil/structural engineers in the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP), and with statistics expertise, my research primarily focuses on probabilistic methods for seismic design and retrofit of buildings and other structures. These methods make use of and provide feedback on the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model and other EHP science and products. To both motivate and apply my research, I serve as a liaison on numerous external committees that develop the seismic provisions of US building codes. I also research risk assessment methods for natural hazards, mostly for earthquakes but also for rockfalls, with an interest in other hazards. Prior to joining the USGS in 2004, for three years I worked at a catastrophe risk modeling company.
