Acerca del autor

Dr. Luis Suárez is professor at the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPR-M) and the Coordinator of the Structural Engineering Area. He has been involved in research in structural dynamics, earthquake engineering, soil dynamics and random vibrations. He has published 98 papers in refereed journals, 95 conference papers and several technical reports on these subjects. He has taught graduate courses in Advanced Structural Dynamics, Soil Dynamics, Random Vibrations and Analytical Mechanics in Puerto Rico, USA, Dominican Republic and Argentina. Dr. Suárez graduated at the top of his class in the National University of Cordoba, Argentina, in 1981 with an engineering diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. In 1984, he received his M.Sc. degree and in 1986 his Ph.D. degree both in Engineering Mechanics from the Dept. of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech. Prof. Suárez joined UPR-M in 1989. Previously he worked as Assistant Professor at the ESM Department at Virginia Tech and at the Department of Structures in the National University of Cordoba, in Argentina. He was selected among the top 20 teachers of the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. Dr. Suárez received the Ph.D. Research Award from the Virginia Tech Chapter of Sigma Xi, a Cunningham Fellowship from Virginia Tech, the PR-EPSCoR Productivity Award for two consecutive years, two Tau Beta Pi awards for excellence in teaching, and was six times selected one of the Distinguished Professors of the College of Engineering of UPR-M. Prof. Suárez has directed the thesis and dissertations of 75 M.Sc. and Ph.D. graduate students. Dr. Suárez was P.I. in projects sponsored by the US Army Research Office, NSF, NASA, the US Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, the National Center for Earthq. Eng. Research and the US Geological Survey. He co-founded in 2001 the Revista Internacional de Desastres Naturales, Accidentes e Infraestructura Civil. He is currently the editor of this international magazine that deals with natural and man-made hazards and is aimed at the Ibero-american community. He published five books: “Introducción a la Programación en Matlab para Ingenieros Civiles y Mecánicos” , “Análisis de Estructuras con Cargas Dinámicas: Tomo I”, “Análisis de Estructuras con Cargas Dinámicas: Tomo II”,“Análisis Estructural con SAP2000: Estático y Dinámico” and Introducción a la Programación en Mathematica para Ingenieros Civiles y Mecánicos”.
