Andreas Mueller, PhD
Professional 9/2002 - present (657/201008)
Experience ABS Consulting/EQECAT
Senior Project Engineer/Scientist
Work on property risk management projects and model development
for one of the internationally leading companies providing
innovative catastrophe management solutions for property and
casualty insurance underwriting, accumulation management and
transfer of natural hazard and terrorism risk (The World Bank;
GAP) in and outside of the US.
The main focus of my contribution is related to meteorological
hazards but is not limited to that. Over the years with EQECAT I
gained strong expertise in property related aspects of modeling
meteorological risks like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and
storm surges as accompanied by hurricanes like Katrina.
My work involved significant contributions to EQECAT's
tornado/hail model estimating the hazard of tornadoes as they
occur every year in the US and cause annually several billions
dollars of damages to the US property and its economy.
EQECAT's models are licensed by international reinsurances,
national and international insurances, corporations, and form a
basis to CAT bonds with a multi-billion dollar volume. I worked
for CAT bonds in the Caribbean and Japan.
I analyzsed risk to power lines and power stations of various
energy organisations like Southern Company, Florida Power &
Light Company (FPL), Georgia Power.
2003 - 2008__:In Years? Worked on earthquake simulation models
that are in demand in international markets in Europe and
Asia and on evaluation of terror risk in the US and abroad. This
expertise can be applied to both private and public property
risk.
2007__: In year?Worked on project for the Federal Railway Agency
to estimate the risk to the railway network by natural hazards
like avalanches, hurricanes, straight line wind, tornadoes,
floods, and landslides.
Member of EQECAT's team have been working since 2003 on
qualifying for the annual Florida Commission certification,
which guaranteies state-of-the art technology year by year. We
are also pPreparing documents for similar certification for
other US states like Louisiana and Hawaii.
