Christian Málaga-Chuquitaype
I am a researcher, engineer, and educator. I lead the Emerging Structural Technologies Lab at Imperial College London where I am the Director of Undergraduate Admissions for Civil Engineering, Director of Imperial’s MSc in Earthquake Engineering , and the Departmental Postdoc Champion . I serve on a number of committees related to international code development and the advancement of engineering practice and am the current deputy UK National Delegate to the International and European Associations for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE and EAEE). I organise the Structures Seminars.My work spans the areas of structural mechanics, applied dynamics and design. I leverage innovative technological tools and state-of-the-art numerical and experimental techniques to solve a wide range of engineering challenges. Of particular interest are engineering problems arising in extreme or hostile environments such as earthquake-prone areas and extra-terrestrial settings.
