General Information
Start:May 17th, 2025
Duration: 5 weeks.
See Course's brochure for detailed information.
See PayPal's link for internatinal enrollment on the course.
The course is aimed for professionals and students in engineering who seek to understand the dynamic structural behavior of buildings using programming languages. Likewise, the course is designed for structural engineers conducting in-depth studies on the dynamic behavior of structures using the Open Source Seismic Simulation System through Python (OpenSeesPy).
We will perform the Dynamic Analysis of buildings step by step using OpenSees through the Python programming language, with the aim of describing the dynamic behaviour of different structures due to earthquakes.
Instructors
Julian Palacios
Master of Engineering from the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Civil Engineer from the National University of Engineering (UNI). He specializes in High-Performance Computing for large-scale seismic simulations. Currently, he is a research assistant at the Peruvian-Japanese Center for Seismic Research and Disaster Mitigation (CISMID-UNI). He has extensive experience in numerical simulations for earthquake and tsunami scenarios using parallel computing on CPU/GPU. Additionally, he has expertise in structural health monitoring, process systematization, and software development.
Edson Carrasco
President of the Structural Analysis and Design Group (GADEST) at the National University of Engineering (UNI). He has interned in Information Technology and Computing (ITC) area at the Peruvian-Japanese Center for Seismic Research and Disaster Mitigation (CISMID), where he contributed to tasks automation using Python. He has experience in developing structural models with OpenSeesPy and creating applications for automating structural analysis and design. His work focuses on innovation and leveraging technology to optimize processes in structural engineering.
Daniel Medina
Bachelor in Civil Engineering with solid experience in structural analysis and design, construction supervision, and risk assessment for buildings. He is currently engaged in scientific research at UTEC, focusing on the seismic behavior of structures and the integration of artificial intelligence in structural inspections. He has advanced skills in object-oriented programming and has developed an automation system for structural design using Python. His expertise includes specialized tools such as MATLAB, OpenSees, and STKO for structural and seismic analysis.
