Nenad Bijelic
Postdoctoral researcher, EPFLNenad Bijelić is a postdoctoral scholar in the Resilient Steel Structures Laboratory (RESSLab) at EPFL, Switzerland. He obtained his Ph.D. (2018) and M.S. (2014) from Stanford University, USA, and B.S. (2010) from University of Zagreb, Croatia. His research is in the area of probabilistic risk modeling and natural hazards engineering focusing on dynamics of nonlinear systems and application of statistical and machine learning tools. Pertinent to this conference, Dr. Bijelić co-convened a session on theory-guided machine learning approaches in earthquake engineering at the 2021 Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) Annual Meeting, USA. In addition, Dr. Bijelić co-lead the EERI-StEER joint reconnaissance team following the December 29, 2020, magnitude 6.4 earthquake in Petrinja, Croatia. His PhD research was supported by the 2012 International Fulbright Science and Technology Award, and the 2015 Shah Family Fellowship on Catastrophic Risk.
