Brett was born and raised in Hillsborough, New Jersey. As a young boy, he was obsessed with Legos, Matchbox Cars, and building skateboard ramps. In the sixth grade he started at The Hun School of Princeton in Princeton, NJ, where he completed both Middle and High School. At The Hun School, he
\r\n\tdiscovered his knack for all things quantitative and technical – excelling in Mathematics and Physics, specifically (he was awarded the Trenton Times Academic All Star award for top Math student, and the Rennsselaer Mathematics and Sciences Medal award). Combining his childhood love of building things with his proficiency in math and physics, there was really only one career for him to choose: Engineering. It also did not hurt that his dad (who he turns more and more into with each day) is an Engineer. So with that, Brett packed up his calculator and pocket protector and headed off to college!
\r\n\tBrett has been at Columbia University for far too long – receiving both his Bachelor’s (magna cum laude & Tau Beta Pi, 2009) and Master’s (2010); and currently pursuing a Ph.D.; all from the Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics department at Columbia University.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tBrett’s current research is in the field of Stochastic and Computational Mechanics. In short, he develops computer algorithms to solve problems dealing with quantifying uncertainty and risk in Civil Engineering, and Mechanics. Specifically, he is working on the simulation of non-stationary and non-Gaussian processes – with applications to functionally graded materials, as well as modeling risk due to natural hazards in urban environments. While pursuing his Ph.D., he has had the benefit of being able to teach over 100 students through teaching assistance, individual mentoring, as well as teaching his own class on Computer Aided Structural Design.<\/p>\r\n

In his free time, Brett enjoys the New York Mets, long aimless walks around New York, hiking, biking, kayaking, and the state of Vermont.<\/p>\r\n","subjects":"Mathematics<\/a>,<\/span> Statistics and Probability<\/a>,<\/span> <\/a>,<\/span> "},{"name":"Bryan","id":"li-49","classesItems":[[],"sub-94","loc-2","sub-97","loc-2","sub-92","loc-2","sub-110"],"classesString":"loc-2 sub-94 loc-2 sub-97 loc-2 sub-92 loc-2 sub-110 ","imagePath":" $\"\"$ ","bio":"
