Congratulations to Maryia Markhvida for winning the EERI 2018 Graduate Student Paper Award!

Many committee members who reviewed the paper,  “Unification of seismic performance estimation and real estate investment analysis to model post-earthquake building repair decisions” co-authored with Jack Baker, noted that this paper’s novel approach in relating structural engineering loss estimates with real estate market values will have many broader impacts to fields beyond engineering, including policy mitigation efforts and post-earthquake decision making.

The award will be presented on Thursday March 07, 2019 at the EERI Honors Ceremony and Annual Business Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia.
