Rafael Ramírez Eudave is a PhD candidate at the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering of the University of Minho, Portugal. He is a member of the INFRARISK program, supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. He obtained his degree as an Architect in 2015 (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and was part of the Erasmus ELARCH program, later receiving an MSc degree in Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (University of Minho, Portugal, 2017) and in Heritage and Project (University of Basilicata, Italy, 2018). He has worked in the National Coordination of Historical Monuments of the Mexican National Institute for Anthropology and History and participated in interventions on historical constructions damaged during the 2017 earthquakes in Mexico. His current research is devoted to the assessment and mitigation of the seismic vulnerability of historical centres. He has published 12 articles in prestigious international journals, been part of 4 sections of books and participated in 17 international congresses worldwide. The most frequent topics in his research are: Architecture; Cultural Heritage; Seismic Risk; Historical Constructions; Restoration; Reinforcement; Retrofitting.
