'''Haresh Chandulal Shah''' (born 1937) is an Indian-born, American earthquake engineer and the Obayashi Professor of Engineering (Emeritus) at Stanford University. He and his students performed research in probabilistic methods and the development of seismic hazard and risk models. Research and development in the area of catastrophe risk modeling led to the founding of Risk Management Solutions (RMS).<ref name=Moodys />
==Early life and education== Haresh Chandulal Shah was born in 1937 in Godhra in the state of Gujarat, India and grew up in Pune, in the state of Maharashtra. He attended G. K. H. Mandal School, and then Dastur High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the College of Engineering at University of Pune in 1959.<ref name="Shah_OH" />{{rp|pages=6–7}} He earned a Master of Science in Civil Engineering in 1960 and Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering (1963) under the direction of Professor Jack R. Benjamin.<ref name="Shah_OH" />{{rp|pages=13–20}} His dissertation research applied probabilistic methods to evaluating the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete columns.<ref name="Shah_PhD" /><ref name=Shah_columns_ASCE />
==Career== === Academic career === Shah was as an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at University of Pennsylvania (1962–1968). In September 1968, Shah returned to Stanford as an associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, where he remained until his retirement in 1997. From 1962 to 2003 he supervised 48 PhD students.
With an endowment from John A. Blume and additional support from Stanford University, Professors Haresh Shah and James M. Gere cofounded the [https://blume.stanford.edu John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center] in 1974 and served as co-directors until 1985.<ref name=JABEEC_founding /> The Center's mission is to promote research and education in the area of earthquake engineering, and to transfer research findings to society in general and the engineering profession in particular.<ref name=JABEEC_WCEE />
Shah served as chair of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department from 1985 to 1994.<ref name="Shah_OH" />{{rp|page=xiii}}
=== Research and technology transfer === While at University of Pennsylvania (1962–1968) his research included the applications of probabilistic methods to aircraft reliability,<ref name=Shah_Aircraft/> to concrete creep,<ref name=Shah_Creep/> and to dynamically loaded columns<ref name=Shah_Column/><ref name=Shah_Beam_Column /> and plates.<ref name=Shah_Plate/> At Stanford, Shah focused his research on earthquake engineering, in particular, using probabilistic methods to model and estimate earthquake damage and loss.<ref name="Shah_OH" />{{rp|pages=27–41}}
Shah and his students performed research in the application of probabilistic techniques to perform regional seismic hazard analyses <ref name=Nicaragua /><ref name=California /><ref name=Costa_Rica /><ref name=Guatemala /><ref name=Honduras /> and seismic risk analysis of large infrastructure systems.<ref name=CA_Water /><ref name=oil /> Further research produced a systematic methodology and computer program for seismic hazard analysis.<ref name=Mortgat /><ref name=STASHA /> In the early 1980s, Shah and his students began to apply these models to forecasting insurance losses and estimate insurance rates.<ref name=insurance /><ref name=insurance_studies_1984 />
With the support of the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing, Haresh Shah, his son Hemant Shah, and a former PhD student Weimin Dong founded Risk Management Software (which later became Risk Management Solutions (RMS)).<ref name=RMS_History /> Three major catastrophe modeling companies were founded around the same time: AIR Worldwide (1987), RMS (1988), and EQECAT (1994).<ref name=Grossi /> HAZUS, the GIS-based analysis tool used by the federal government to estimate losses from natural hazards, was developed at RMS under a contract from the National Institute of Building Sciences. The first version, HAZUS97, was released in 1997.<ref name=HAZUS_Spectra /><ref name=HAZUS />
RMS grew to a global company with more than 12,000 employees and offices in Palo Alto, Chicago, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, London, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Delhi, Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, Sydney, and Auckland.<ref name="Shah_OH" />{{rp|pages=43–52}} RMS was acquired by Moody's in 2021.<ref name=Moodys />
=== Professional contributions === International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) was established by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1987.<ref name=WSSI_Action />{{rp|page=16}} As a contribution of the [https://www.iaee.or.jp International Association for Earthquake Engineering] (IAEE) to IDNDR, Shah, Charles C. Thiel and Wilfred D. Iwan created the World Seismic Safety Initiative (WSSI) framework, with the goal of reducing damage and loss of life in future earthquakes, particularly in developing countries, by disseminating earthquake engineering knowledge throughout the world.<ref name=WSSI_Action /><ref name=WSSI_NZEE /> Haresh Shah and Tsuneo Katayama served as co-chairs of the WSSI Interim Organizing Committee (WIOC).<ref name=WSSI_NZEE /> Projects included, SAFER Cities, which provided strong-motion accelerographs to highly seismic regions with few strong-motion monitoring instruments; the Indonesian Seismic Zoning Project; Engineering Impact of a M7.5 Earthquake in Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, and the Global Risk Project.<ref name=SAFER /> WSSI measured an increase in Earthquake Disaster Preparedness Capacity (EDPC) for 18 countries between 1993 and 1999.<ref name=WSSI_2000 /> The WSSI was headquartered at the National Technical University in Singapore until it was dissolved in 2009.
Shah served as Senior Academic Advisor (2003–2005) to Su Guaning, President of Nanyang Technological University (NTU). and then another 12 years working on initiatives, such as the development of the Institute of Catastrophe Risk Management (ICRM) in 2010 and the development of the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) in 2008.<ref name=NTU_Troika /> In recognition of Shah's contributions the government of Singapore awarded him the Pingat Bakti Masyarakat in 2014, and NTU awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2015.
