PEER Annual Meeting 2023 Speaker Bio: Tracy Becker is an Associate Professor and the Ed & Diane Wilson Presidential Chair in Structural Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. She has expertise in performance-based design and the design, modeling, and experimental testing of high-performance structural systems used for limiting structural and component losses in seismic events. Her research has focused on expanding the use of seismic isolation to a broader category of structures, understanding ultimate failure mechanisms of isolated buildings to ensure robust designs, and improving existing control systems to further minimize structural responses in seismic events.
