Snehasagar Gopagani, Ph.D.
He graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras with M.Tech and B.Tech in Civil engineering under dual degree program in 2018. Sagar got his PhD in 2023 in the University at Buffalo SUNY investing the seismic behavior of suspended ceilings.
Sagar’s PhD thesis is based on building an analytical model of a suspended acoustic ceiling, that could accurately capture the suspended ceiling behavior subjected to seismic loading. Utilizing this analytical model fragility curves for various configurations of the suspended ceilings will be derived. These fragility curves are employed to quantify the risk and economic losses in an event of an earthquake.
