Ömer Aydan

Earthquake Science and Engineering (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses scientific and engineering aspects of earthquakes, which are generally taught and published on separately. This book intends to fill the gap between these two fields associated with earthquakes and help seismologists and earthquake engineers better communicate with and understand each other.

Autorenporträt

Ömer Aydan was born in 1955 and studied Mining Engineering at the Technical University of Istanbul, Turkey (B.Sc., 1979), Rock Mechanics and Excavation Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK (M.Sc., 1982), and received his Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Nagoya University, Japan in 1989. Prof. Aydan worked at Nagoya University as a research associate (1987-1991), and then in the Department of Marine Civil Engineering at Tokai University, first as Assistant Professor (1991-1993), then as Associate Professor (1993-2001), and finally as Professor (2001-2010). He then became Professor of the Institute of Oceanic Research and Development at Tokai University, and is currently Professor at the University of the Ryukyus, Department of Civil Engineering & Architecture, Nishihara, Okinawa, Japan. He is also the director of the Disaster Prevention Research Center for Island Region of the University of the Ryukyus. Prof. Aydan has played an active role in numerous organizations such as ISRM, JSCE, JGS, SRI and Rock Mechanics and other National Group of Japan committees, and has organized several national and international symposia and conferences.
