Robert Bloom

I am an incoming PhD in Structural Engineering. I did my undergraduate degree at University of California-San Diego and decided that this was the right fit for me to continue my education. My love of math and desire to make a difference in the world around me is what made me interested in the design and research industry. I hope to apply artificial intelligence in seismic research applications. I hope that this will improve the accuracy of the simulations we are able to perform in order to make safer, more cost effective systems to mitigate earthquake effects. During my time in the program I hope to engage with my mentors and give back through mentorship programs. I'm looking forward to this great learning opportunity, and I'm thankful for the fellowships that have made it possible.
