Andrea Calabrese, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in Construction Engineering with an emphasis in Structural Engineering at ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñState University, Long Beach.

Calabrese’s research is in the fields of experimental testing, structural dynamics, base isolation, vibration engineering and in the development of low-cost devices for the seismic protection of buildings. This work has been instrumental in developing low-cost seismic isolation systems using recycled rubber and flexible reinforcements for seismic protection of buildings in developing regions.

Calabrese holds a Ph.D., in Construction Engineering and an M.Sc., in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Naples in Italy.
