Matteo Pozzi
Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Matteo Pozzi is a professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon. His research deals with risk analysis for civil infrastructure systems, using engineering models and sensor data. Particularly, his research is focused on probabilistic models for seismic vulnerability, deterioration, optimal planning for mitigation of extreme events, and maintenance and inspection scheduling. He received a Ph.D. in structural engineering from the University of Trento, Italy, and he was a post-doc researcher at UC Berkeley.

Dowd Seed Fund for Fellowships
Some of the greatest innovations of our time started out with the riskiest ideas. But risky ideas often go unfunded—until someone is brave enough to trust in the researcher's dreams.
