Assoc. Prof. Kemal Edip, PhD (male) is associate professor at the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (IZIIS) under Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. He is currently at the Department for Geotechnics and special structures where he teaches four subjects in the frame of master and doctoral studies relating the dynamics of soil and geotechnical earthquake engineering. His narrow field of expertise is numerical simulation of soil media which he investigated thoroughly in his PhD research in 2013 as DAAD and Herder Foundation scholar. Since, 2005 he has been actively involved in many scientific and professional projects among which as participant at Project CRISIS: Comprehensive Risk Assessment of Basic Services and Transport Infrastructure (2021-ongoing), DG-ECHO Project: INFRANAT – Increased Resilience of Critical Infrastructure to Natural and Human-Induced Hazards (2018-2019), Project SERIES-Seismic Engineering Research Infrastructures For European Synergies 2007-2013, bilateral project with BOKU university in Vienna, Austria – Development of new methodology for assessment of natural catastrophes such as Liquefaction Risk Mitigation (2018-2020). During his scientific and professional career he has been participating in several training programs and study stays in Pavia, Italy, Scientific visit in the frame of Project: Infra-NAT (2019), ERASMUS programme at BOKU University in Wien, Austria (2016), SERIES Project, visit of LNEC Laboratory in Lisbon, Portugal (2011). He has published more than 20 scientific papers in national and international conferences, 33 professional reports and 6 publications in IF journals. His work covers broad areas in geotechnical earthquake engineering including constitutive modelling, boundary simulations, laboratory and field testing, slope stability, dam analysis, multiphase modelling etc. In 2013, he was awarded the Macedonian Association of Structural Engineers award for contribution to science. He has been reviewer of projects of the Innovation Fund within the frames of different calls. He is actively involved in the professional-applicative activities of UKIM-IZIIS as well as in the work of professional commissions and working groups related to elaboration of opinions about designed and as-built level of mechanical resistance, stability and seismic protection of structures in the Republic of North Macedonia. He is member of the Macedonian Association for Earthquake Engineering MAEE, the European Association for Earthquake Engineers as well as the Macedonian Association of Geotechnics. He is also member of expert groups working on adoption of national annexes for our country within Eurocodes.
