Hello
About Nathan
I am a Ph.D. student at Stanford University. My research area is in structural engineering, primarily focusing on earthquake engineering and seismic hazard. I completed my undergraduate studies in civil engineering at Georgia Tech in 2019. I worked as a structural engineer in industry before coming to Stanford in 2021 for my master's in structural engineering. This website aims to track my research journey and summarize my publications.
