Dr Roberto GentileAssociate ProfessorCatastrophe Risk Modelling · UCL

I provide tools that allow engineers to use quantified risk as a metric for design, and risk modellers to improve their estimates using advanced engineering methods.

I co-direct the DE|RISC Lab at UCL.

I am the founder of OpenVulnerability.

I'm available for consultancy in risk modelling, especially for seismic and flood fragility and vulnerability models, damage and loss estimates for buildings and infrastructure. I also advise on the seismic assessment and retrofit of reinforced-concrete structures.
