Presidential Young Investigators Award

这笔赠款是针对总统青年研究人员奖的最初一年。这一奖项将使研究人员能够继续他在减轻地震灾害方面的研究，特别是在涉及结构倒塌和搜救的情况下。与一个跨学科团队合作，其中包括一名建筑师、急救医生和一名伤害流行病学家，调查员将提供地震工程方面的专业知识，因为该小组从事的研究领域包括损害评估和预测、坍塌机制和稳定技术、搜索技术、和提取技术。

This grant is for the initial year of a Presidential Young Investigator Award. This award will enable the investigator to continue his research in earthquake hazard mitigation, especially as it involves structural collapse and search and rescue. Working with an interdisciplinary team which includes an architect, emergency medical physician, and an injury epidemiologist, the investigator will provide the earthquake engineering expertise as the team pursues such areas of research as damage assessment and prediction, collapse mechanisms and stabilization technology, search technology, and extraction technology.
