About me

I am Saeed Soltani, the current manager of European tsunami risk service (ETRiS), part of the tsunami Thematic Core Service of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS). I hold a Ph.D. from Université Grenoble Alpes and the International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology, specializing in 3D modeling of sedimentary basins. My research focused on physics-based seismic ground motion simulations, with significant implications for seismic risk assessment. I am currently conducting research on agent-based modeling for the analysis of tsunami risk and evacuation strategies.
