Dr. Tiago Miguel Ferreirais a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the School of Engineering of the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), UnitedKingdom, and an invited Assistant Professor at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Dr. Ferreira’s research focuses on thestructural vulnerability of historical buildings and urban areas to natural and anthropogenic hazards, specifically earthquakes,fires, floods, and landslides. More recently, he has expanded his focus to include the interaction between different hazardsand both physical and social vulnerability, both in the context of single, compound and cascading hazards. Recognised asamong the 2% top-cited scientists in the world by Elsevier BV and Stanford University (2021 and 2022) twice, Dr. Ferreira isa highly accomplished academic in his fields of expertise. He has co-authored nearly 200 scientific and technicalpublications, including dozens of research articles in someof the most reputed international journals. He has also editedseveral books on the topics of vulnerability and risk assessment and participated in and coordinated many research projectsin these fields. Currently, Dr. Ferreira is a co-Editor-in-Chief of ‘GeoHazards’, a multidisciplinary journal devoted to theoreticaland applied research across the whole spectrum of geomorphological hazards, and a Section Editor-in-Chief of ‘Fire’, awide-spectrum journal about the science, policy, and technology of fires and how they interact with communities and theenvironment.
