Michael Musgrove
Joseph Harmon Joseph Harmon is a PhD candidate whose research focuses on 1-D site
response analyses and site amplification in Central and Eastern North
America (CENA).He graduated with a BS from the University of Washington
and MS from UIUC. He is currently working with the Geotechnical Working
Group of the NGA-East Project coordinated by PEER to develop seismic site
amplification factors for CENA, and he contributes to the development of DEEPSOIL.

Ozgun Numanoglu Ozgun graduated from the Middle East Technical University at 2013 with BSc. degree in theDepartment of Civil Engineering and finished his Master of Science in the University of Illinois at Urbana

– Champaign at 2014. Currently, he is a PhD candidate. His primary research interests are geotechnical

earthquake engineering and computational geomechanics with the emphasis in constitutive modeling of

soils, finite element analysis, soil-structure interaction and site response analysis. His current research

focuses on the inverse analysis of non-linear soil behavior at element and centrifuge level and numerical

modeling of large scale centrifuge testing using finite element method.

Omar Baltaji Omar is currently working on optimizing strut design of deep excavations. Numerical analysis results and empirical results are compared with the heavily-instrumented-site measurements. The research would provide a better understanding of the parameters that contribute to struts loading.
