Professor Domniki Asimaki's research focuses on the integration of geotechnical engineering with computational mechanics and structural dynamics. Her work aims to understand natural ground surface features and man-made geotechnical systems, such as ridges, valleys, dams, tunnels, and building foundations, as well as offshore structures. She is particularly interested in incorporating high-fidelity numerical simulations alongside field experimental data to develop engineering design models that enhance infrastructure resilience against urban and regional hazards. Asimaki holds a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens (1998), a Master’s degree from MIT (2000), and completed her Ph.D. in 2004. She has been part of Caltech's faculty since 2014, contributing significantly to the field of soil dynamics and wave propagation.
Most Caltech graduate programs are PhD-only. GRE General and Subject tests vary by department; many have made them optional or no longer accept them.
