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.
