Additional information

Dr. Nikola Blagojević is a post-doctoral researcher at the Chair of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the development of novel tools and frameworks for disaster resilience assessment of interdependent systems. As part of his doctoral thesis, he developed the iRe-CoDeS framework for probabilistic resilience-based design of the built environment. His current work involves using the iRe-CoDeS framework to assess hospital resilience. He is the lead developer of the open-source python library for regional recovery simulation and resilience assessment: pyrecodes. He holds a PhD from ETH Zurich (2023), and a MSc (2016) and BSc (2015) in civil engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia.
