Al Mouayed Bellah Nafeh (1993), graduated from the University of Balamand, Lebanon in 2015 with a B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering following a thesis in Finite Element Analysis of Structural Steel Elements. He worked briefly on infrastructure and residential high-rise projects in Lebanon. He graduated from the European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus MEEES programme in 2017 with a M.Sc. in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology after attending courses in Université Grenoble-Alpes (France) and IUSS Pavia (Italy) followed by a thesis on Numerical Homogenization Techniques for Concrete. Subsequently, he pursued a two-year research fellowship at the Università degli studi di Pavia and IUSS Pavia funded by the ReLuis, ITERATE and Infra-NAT consortia. He was also involved in the ROSSINI project as research associate during his doctoral studies. Currently, his research addresses the quantification of seismic demand in existing infilled RC structures conditioned on the mean annual frequency of collapse and monetary losses due to earthquake. Research interests include: performance-based engineering, seismic assessment of existing RC structures, nonlinear modeling and analysis, risk assessment.
