UC Davis
University of California, Davis — international, self-funded partner
UC Davis is ranked among the ten best American universities in Civil Engineering, and joins IM-SURF as a self-funded international collaborator.
Role in IM-SURF
UC Davis provides expertise and support across the whole project, rather than leading a single work package.
Team
Professor Boris Jeremić has a long research record in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, with fundamental contributions to the numerical modelling of soil, structures and equipment under earthquake actions. He is the creator of the finite-element code ESSI-Simulator, which IM-SURF uses alongside Code_ASTER for the project's soil-structure interaction calculations.
