Dr. Tiago Miguel Ferreira is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the School of Engineering of the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), United Kingdom, and an invited Assistant Professor at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Dr. Ferreira's research focuses on the structural vulnerability of historical buildings and urban areas to natural and anthropogenic hazards, specifically earthquakes, fires, floods, and landslides. More recently, he has expanded his focus to include the interaction between different hazards and both physical and social vulnerability, both in the context of single, compound and cascading hazards. Recognised as among the 2% top-cited scientists in the world by Elsevier BV and Stanford University (2021 and 2022) twice, Dr. Ferreira is a highly accomplished academic in his fields of expertise. He has co-authored nearly 200 scientific and technical publications, including dozens of research articles in someof the most reputed international journals.

He has also edited several books on the topics of vulnerability and risk assessment and participated in and coordinated many research projects in these fields. Currently, Dr. Ferreira is a co-Editor-in-Chief of 'GeoHazards', a multidisciplinary journal devoted to theoretical and applied research across the whole spectrum of geomorphological hazards, and a Section Editor-in-Chief of 'Fire', a wide-spectrum journal about the science, policy, and technology of fires and how they interact with communities and the environment.
