Ezra Jampole
Principal Engineer,
Exponent, Inc.
Dr. Jampole has developed multi-hazard risk assessment frameworks to determine the risk of structures and components due to climate change. He has developed engineering-based quantitative risk analysis models of utility components for electric and gas transmission and distribution systems, including evaluating the risk due to contact with foreign objects and failures due to wind and earthquakes. He has evaluated the effectiveness of wildfire mitigations in reducing components failures that may lead to arcing and ignitions.
