Dr. @LisaTobber's research on structural systems is making our cities safer, more resilient and more sustainable.

“I study how buildings will behave in earthquakes and then develop solutions to make them behave better.” #UBCEngineering

The Okanagan is just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer.

Me in front of model concrete buildings that had previously been earthquake shake table tested at Tongji University in China. Researching disaster-resilient concrete structures is a big part of my life!

Awesome to see energy-dissipating devices in real buildings. I am learning a lot from my New Zealand on implementing earthquake-resilient technology!

All my best ideas come while walking in the woods. Luckily the #okanagan has amazing places to wander.

Our students have painted the 'E' to rase awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Iran. It is incredible how the @ubcengineering 'E' has evolved into a powerful symbol of social justice.
Makes me a #proud UBC Alumna and faculty member

Under current building codes and practices, high-rise buildings in #BritishColumbia are designed to stay standing in the event of an #earthquake, but are not necessarily designed to remain safe to live in.

@UBCOSOE's Dr. @LisaTobber wants them to do both. https://t.co/5MKDvOxLEQ
