Dr. Renmin Pretell is an assistant professor of geotechnical engineering in the Department of Civil and w88 slot online Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. Dr. Pretell holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in civil and w88 slot online engineering from the University of California, Davis, and a B.S. in civil engineering from the National University of Engineering (UNI), Peru. Prior to graduate school, Dr. Pretell worked as a consulting engineer for five years with Golder Associates (currently WSP) at the Lima and Denver offices, and as a postdoctoral scholar with the Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles, before joining the University. Dr. Pretell’s research aims to advance the performance assessment of geotechnical systems and infrastructure by integrating data, numerical simulations and analytics. His research interests include seismic site response and ground motions, soil spatial variability and subsurface uncertainty, mine tailings and soil liquefaction effects.
