Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancisco Galvis is a structural engineering-focused technology leader and current Chief Technology Officer based in San Francisco with eight years of applied experience bridging experimental research and practical design. He combines a Stanford Ph.D. in Structural Engineering with hands-on industry delivery—from seismic forensic consulting at Thornton Tomasetti to the seismic design of a 400m cable-stayed bridge—and now leads ResiQuant’s tech strategy at the intersection of automation and engineering. His work emphasizes probabilistic risk and resilience assessments that turn complex structural behavior into decision-ready tools, and he teaches computational nonlinear structural analysis as a guest lecturer at Stanford. Francisco has investigated steel, precast concrete, and adobe systems through both experiments and simulations, giving him rare breadth across modern and vernacular materials. He brings a policy-aware perspective from NIST-sponsored doctoral research and practical bridge design experience, making him adept at translating advanced models into deployable, risk-informed solutions. An educator and practitioner, he quietly blends academic rigor with field-proven engineering to push resilience-focused automation into practice.
