NHERI@UC San Diego Board of Advisors

The NHERI@UC San Diego Board of Advisors is a group of independent structural and civil engineers and academics with seismic expertise who provide the LHPOST6 advice on visionary goals for the facility, development of transformative earthquake hazard mitigation strategies, and how the research conducted at the LHPOST6 can impact the profession and society.

The BOA will also help the LHPOST6 increase our industry-academic partnerships, which have led to positive changes in building codes and continue to protect our communities from the devastation of earthquakes.
