Kelvin Karanja Kuria received his Master’s degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Russia, in 2014, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Structural/Earthquake Engineering at Széchenyi István University, Hungary. He works as a Tutorial Fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Egerton University, Kenya, where he teaches structural engineering, reinforced concrete design, steel structures, and earthquake engineering-related courses. His research focuses on the seismic vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete structures, nonlinear static and dynamic analysis, fragility curve development, performance-based earthquake engineering, and the durability and life-cycle performance of concrete structures. His current work particularly explores the seismic performance of reinforced concrete shear walls, including the effects of openings, nonlinear modelling, and sustainability-based structural assessment.
