Fabio Taucer is Scientific Officer at the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA) and works for the European Commission since 2001. He is responsible for the coordination of RTD European Projects in the field of earthquake engineering, with emphasis on Pre-Normative research in support to the Eurocodes. He received his MEng in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1991. He has working experience both in research and industry, having worked at an international level in seismic design and retrofit of long span bridges. He is Editor of two European reports on large-scale experimental facilities, and of a set of seven European Reference Reports on Systemic Seismic Vulnerability and Risk Analysis.
