Professor Andrew T. Myers

Civil and Environmental Engineering
Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Biography:
Prior to joining Northeastern, Andrew worked for two years at AIR Worldwide in San Francisco, where he consulted on site-specific natural catastrophe risk assessments. He received his M.S. (2006) and Ph.D. (2009) at Stanford University and his B.S. (2004) from Johns Hopkins University; all three degrees are in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a focus on Structural Engineering. His interests include multi-scale experimental testing of structures, computational mechanics-based simulation, probabilistic modeling of structural and natural systems. He is a registered professional engineer in California.

Honors & Awards:
2016 NSF CAREER Award
2013 CEE Excellence in Teaching Award
2007 NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute Fellowship
