Jack Baker's is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from Stanford University, where he also earned M.S. degrees in Statistics and Structural Engineering. His research focuses on the use of probabilistic and statistical tools for modeling of extreme loads on structures. Jack Baker's research focuses on the use of probabilistic and statistical tools for modeling of extreme loads on structures. He has investigated probabilistic modeling of seismic hazards, improved characterization of earthquake ground motions, dynamic analysis of structures, prediction of the spatial extent of soil failures from earthquakes, and tools for modeling loads on spatially distributed infrastructure systems. He has industry experience in seismic hazard assessment, ground motion selection, and modeling of catastrophe losses for insurance companies.
