Short Bio:
Dr Maria Nogal is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Delft University of Technology (Netherlands). Her research focuses on the resilience of the built environment, its assessment and management, paying special attention to the impact of climate change on the interconnected infrastructure systems. She is interested in the integration of social aspects (e.g., human capacity for adaptation or behavioural change during stressful situations) to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of engineering systems, and therefore to better support informed decision-making processes.
Dr. Nogal leads the Decision Support Group and oversees a collaborative doctoral partnership with the European Joint Research Center, focusing on the resilience of built infrastructure against natural and man-made hazards. She serves on the Board of Directors of the International Civil Engineering Risk and Reliability Association (CERRA) and is a member of the Management Team of the TUD Safety and Security Institute and an associated researcher of 4TU.Resilience Engineering (Netherlands).
