Menu
Dr. Jorge Macedo is an Assistant Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received B.S. (2007) and M.S. (2013) degrees from the Peruvian National University of Engineering and M.S. (2014) and Ph.D. (2017) degrees from the University of California at Berkeley, all majoring in civil engineering. He practiced as a consulting engineer for six years (2008-2013) and holds PE licenses in California and Peru. Dr. Macedo’s main research areas are geotechnical earthquake engineering, performance-based & risk engineering applied to multi-hazards, and mining geotechnics. His research aims to make geotechnical infrastructure systems and cities more resilient against natural and man-made hazards, saving lives, and reducing economic losses. Dr. Macedo’s Ph.D. research was presented as the prestigious 6th–ISSMGE Ishihara Lecture, and his current research has been featured in Science magazine. He is also the founder of the TAILENG center that investigates mine tailings.
