NHERI Computational Symposium

The third annual NHERI Computational Symposium is a premier event for exchanging ideas, recent work, and broader impacts within the natural hazards research community. This symposium provides a unique platform for students, researchers, and professionals to discuss and share their recent research efforts and industry applications that employ computational modeling and simulation to understand and reduce natural hazards risks.

The event aims to cultivate community and future partnerships through various networking opportunities, fostering collaborations, and knowledge sharing among attendees.

Submit your abstract by September 16, 2024 (Extended).

A pre-symposium workshop begins Wednesday, February 5, 2025 at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering for a hands-on introduction to SimCenter's tools and capabilities and DesignSafe's resources.

The Symposium will be a two day event starting on Thursday, February 6, 2025 at the Luskin Center at UCLA. The first day includes plenary presentations, focused technical sessions, and an informative poster session/early evening reception. The second day, Friday, February 7, will include focused technical sessions.

Join us at UCLA to take the next steps together in advancing natural hazards research through computational modeling and simulation.
