Audrey Olivier

Associate Editor

Dr. Olivier is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California. She holds a Diplôme d’Ingénieur from École Centrale de Nantes (France), a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University, and held a postdoctoral appointment at Johns Hopkins University before joining USC in 2021. Dr. Olivier’s research aims to predict and monitor civil infrastructure systems behavior under uncertainty, by combining innovations in probabilistic data analytics and mechanistic modeling. Applications span various scales, from systems to structures to materials, and recent works include development of adaptive Bayesian nonlinear filters for identification of dynamical structural systems, or advancements in Bayesian (graph) neural networks for contingency analysis of power grids and materials surrogate modeling.
