Chiara Nardin

MSCA PostDoctoral Fellow at external page Universitiy of Trento (Italy)

Chiara Nardin received her PhD from the University of Trento in 2022 with a thesis focused on “Seismic experimental analyses and surrogate models of multi-component systems in high-risk industrial facilities.”

Since then, she has been a Postdoctoral Fellow with the external page Hazard Mitigation, Structural Dynamics, and Control (HMSDC) group at the University of Trento. Her work focuses on integrating physics-based models and Bayesian inference into machine learning to improve predictions and quantify uncertainties for induced seismic events at various scales.

Passionate about design and experimental testing of complex systems, she was actively involved in the EU SERA Project SPIF on shaking table tests of a real multi-component industrial facility. During her PhD, a research stay at ETH Zurich’s Chair of Reliability, Safety, and Uncertainty Quantification (RSUQ) sparked her interest in UQ, metamodelling, and advanced machine learning.

Her research interests include seismic risk analysis and fragility assessment of civil and industrial infrastructure, particularly with a focus on extreme seismic sequences impacting process facilities.

In January 2024, Chiara joined the Chair of Reliability, Safety, and Uncertainty Quantification at ETH Zurich as a external page Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow, advancing UQ-based forward and inverse methodologies to mitigate seismic risks and enhance adaptation in complex, interdependent industrial facilities.
