Pablo Heresi

My research group at the University of Chile works on performance-based earthquake engineering, with emphasis on seismic hazard and risk assessment at both site-specific and regional scales. Current lines include ground-motion record selection, intensity-measure evaluation, spatial correlation of ground motions, site- and source-induced directionality of ground motions, and engineering seismology using the Chilean subduction-zone strong-motion records. A visiting researcher could engage with projects on site response, regional risk modeling for subduction earthquakes, or probabilistic methods applied to the Chilean megathrust zone. I supervise students at the MSc and PhD levels and favor a collaborative, discussion-driven mentorship style, with emphasis on rigorous, reproducible analysis. I have weekly group meetings where everyone shares progress and highlights blockers (SCORE/Scrum style), complemented with regular one-on-one meetings.
