Tiziana Rossetto FREng is a British–Italian earth scientist who is Professor of Earthquake Engineering at University College London. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2021.[1]
Early life and education[]
Rossetto is from Rome.[2] She attended St. George's British International School as a high school student, and moved to St Benedict's School in London as a sixth former. Rossetto was an undergraduate student at Imperial College London, where she studied civil engineering.[3] She stayed at Imperial as a graduate student, and earned an MSc in earthquake engineering in 1999. Rossetto remained in earthquake engineering as a doctoral researcher, where she worked on a seismic assessment of reinforced concrete building populations.[4] After graduating Rossetto worked as a structural engineer in London.[citation needed]
Research and career[]
In 2004 Rossetto joined University College London. After the L'Aquila earthquake, Sichuan earthquake and Kashmir earthquake, Rossetto was involved with several field missions to evaluate the impact on infrastructure.[5] At University College London Rossetto founded the EPICentre research group,[6] a collection of researchers evaluating the risk of tsunamis and earthquakes. Rossetto is a specialist in deriving vulnerability curves, which can be used to evaluate the damage to structures that might take place during an earthquake.[2] To establish these curves, Rossetto developed Europe's largest tsunami simulator.[citation needed] She was named the Stanford University Blume Earthquake Engineering Center Shah Lecturer in 2017.[7]
In 2014, Rossetto was awarded an European Research Council Starting Grant to investigate the vulnerability of structures to such natural hazards.[8][9]
