Kirubel Tefera Gesho is a civil engineer and researcher specializing in earthquake engineering, structural engineering, and transportation infrastructure. He received his BSc in Civil Engineering from the Ethiopian Institute of Technology–Mekelle University, Ethiopia, in 2015, and his MSc in Civil Engineering, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering, from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University in 2018. Since 2019, he has been pursuing a PhD in Road and Railway Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China. His doctoral research focuses on the seismic performance, probabilistic seismic demand, fragility assessment, and retrofit of highway bridges, particularly bridges with initial structural damage in moderate-intensity seismic regions. His research interests include seismic hazard and ground-motion characterization, nonlinear structural analysis, probabilistic seismic demand modeling, component- and system-level fragility assessment, structural dynamics, geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismic retrofit, and resilience of transportation infrastructure. His work aims to develop reliable probabilistic and analytical approaches for improving the seismic safety and resilience of critical civil infrastructure.
