Scott Harvey earned his doctoral degree from Duke University in 2013 and joined the faculty of the OU School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science in August 2014.
Scott's research is centered on understanding and leveraging the behavior of nonlinear structural systems, with the ultimate aim of mitigating the effects of natural hazards on the built environment. The work may be broadly divided into two foci. The first is on the mitigation of damage to buildings and their contents through novel vibration mitigation technologies, and the second is on the application of results from constrained optimization to problems of practical engineering importance including nonlinear rolling motion, optimal control with application to controllable-damping systems, and stability and dynamics of slender structural components. His research also includes induced seismicity in Oklahoma and community resilience to earthquakes, wildfires, and other natural hazards.
