Dr. Sandra Escoffier

Dr. Sandra Escoffier is a distinguished researcher and academic at Université Gustave Eiffel, specializing in geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, and soil-structure interaction. She is affiliated with the university’s Laboratoire Séismes et Vibrations (SV) and contributes to the Centrifuge for Geotechnics Laboratory (GERS-CG) in Bouguenais. She received her PhD from École Nationale Supérieure de Géologie de Nancy (ENSG), Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine

(INPL), France. Dr. Escoffier’s research focuses on understanding the dynamic behavior of soils and structures under seismic loading. She has led and co-authored numerous studies utilizing centrifuge modeling techniques to simulate and analyze soil-structure interactions during seismic events. Her work aims to enhance the resilience of civil engineering structures in earthquake-prone regions. In addition to her research contributions, Dr. Escoffier has supervised and mentored graduate students, fostering the next generation of engineers and researchers in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Her expertise and leadership continue to impact both academic and practical applications in the field.
