William Galik
Ph.D. - Assistant Professor
Office: Colonial Hall, Room 219
William Galik pursued his PhD at IUSS Pavia (Italy) in Earthquake Engineering, where his thesis focused on assessing earthquake damage to reinforce concrete structures. Within this context, he develops advanced constitutive models for implementation into finite-element routines with the aim to better understand how to interpret visual damage to better make informed decisions. William's research interests extend to stability, performance-based design, non-destructive testing and material durability. His research can be followed on Google Scholar.
Prior to studying in Pavia, William obtained a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Washington University in Saint Louis and an M.S. in Structural Engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle.
