Bio/Research
James Kaklamanos, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, joined the faculty of the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at Merrimack College in fall 2012. Jim completed his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
He specializes in geotechnical engineering, which concerns the behavior of earth materials and their effects on the built environment. Jim’s research focuses in the area of geotechnical earthquake engineering, specifically on the improvement of models for predicting earthquake-induced ground motions. With a greater understanding of the level of ground motion expected during earthquakes, engineers will be better able to design earthquake-resistant structures, and ultimately reduce the loss of life and property during earthquakes. At Merrimack, Jim teaches courses in geotechnical engineering, foundation engineering, earth retaining structures, earthquake engineering, and engineering statistics. He also serves as the faculty advisor to the Merrimack College chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
