Dr. Adam Zsarnoczay

Biography

Adam Zsarnoczay is a Senior Research Engineer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. He serves as the Associate Director of the NHERI SimCenter, where he manages the development of the SimCenter's computational simulation platform. His work emphasizes collaboration among researchers and practitioners within the natural hazards engineering community, focusing on disaster simulations that support multi-hazard risk assessment and management at a regional scale. Adam holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and has completed a graduate program at the University of Tokyo. His extensive experience encompasses various scales, from individual structural members to entire cities with hundreds of thousands of assets. Adam's research interests are in probabilistic natural hazard assessment, model development, calibration of structural response estimation, performance assessment, surrogate modeling, and uncertainty quantification for large-scale regional simulations, employing quantitative disaster simulations to aid in risk management and mitigation.
