About the Speakers
Marty Hudson, Amec Foster Wheeler
Dr. Martin B. Hudson, received his B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering from UCLA, and his Ph.D. degree in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of California, Davis. Dr. Hudson is a Principal Engineer for Wood PLC (aka Amec Foster Wheeler) and is a Registered Geotechnical Engineer in the State of California. Dr. Hudson has served as a member of the Seismology Committee of the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). Dr. Hudson is a former board member of the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California, and past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Los Angeles Section Geotechnical Group. Dr. Hudson has extensive experience with the geotechnical aspects of high-rise buildings, deep excavations, tunnels, ports, roadways, and other public works, and seismic response and seismic deformation analyses for earth structures such as dams and slopes. In addition, Dr. Hudson teaches foundation engineering classes at UCLA.
Ezra Jampole, Exponent
Dr. Jampole is an associate at Exponent in New York City, and teaches structural dynamics as an adjunct professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He specializes in failure investigations, earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, and performance-based design. His background in evaluating building damage includes laboratory testing and field investigations following adjacent construction, settlement, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Dr. Jampole holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. from Stanford University, and a B.S. from Northeastern University.
Jennifer Lan, Gilsanz Murray Steficek
Jennifer Lan has worked with Gilsanz Murray Steficek on new construction projects and renovations, since she was an intern in 2007. Her projects include the new Virgin Hotel, a new 600,000 sf residential development for Avalon Bay Communities in West Chelsea, the Herb Alpert Educational Village in Santa Monica, engineering the glass facades and roofs at several Apple Stores and the full gut renovation for Porcelanosa flagship store at Madison Square Park.
Prateek Shah, Purdue University
Prateek Shah is a PhD student at Purdue University working with Professor Santiago Pujol. He has participated in post-earthquake reconnaissance efforts following the 2015 Nepal earthquake and the 2017 Mexico earthquake. He participated in an NSF RAPID effort to instrument buildings in Mexico City in January 2018.
Mark Yashinsky, CalTrans
Mark Yashinsky’s technical areas of expertise in the CalTrans Office of Earthquake Engineering include advanced and nonlinear bridge analysis. He is currently working on a committee exploring ways of providing nonlinear tools to bridge designers using SAP2000. For the last fifteen years, Yashinsky has studied bridge behavior as part of investigation teams supported by NSF, EERI, ASCE, etc. for many large earthquakes including the 1989 Loma Prieta, the 1994 Northridge, the 1995 Kobe, the 1999 Chi Chi, the 2002 Denali and many other events.
John Eidinger, G&E Engineering Systems Inc.
John Eidinger is President of G&E Engineering Systems Inc. His area of expertise is performance of water and power systems in earthquakes. Over the past 40 years, he has published extensively on the seismic design and performance of lifeline systems, and in conjunction with many colleagues of TCLEE, has led and supported numerous field investigations of lifelines affected by many of the major earthquakes around the world.
