Profile Summary

Hi, I am Dr. Ketan Bajaj, having a work experience of 3.5 years in developing robust earthquake models for different parts of the globe. I have done my PhD in earthquake engineering where I worked extensively in developing seismic hazard model for Indo Gangetic basin and Peninsular India including new ground motion prediction equations and amplification factor for both the regions. As a part of professional career, I worked in developing the earthquake model for South America and China. I worked in different aspects for the model development, starting from defining the risk revie of China to developing the vulnerability model for China to model calibration.
