Brian Katz
Project Engineer
Brian joined Hinman’s team in June 2010. He came to Hinman after working as a structural engineer in San Francisco for 2½ years focusing largely on the seismic design of new and existing structures around the world. Building on his previous professional experiences, Brian seeks out opportunities to work closely with the design team to bring creativity and energy to the job, believing that every problem has a unique engineering solution waiting to be found.
Brian received both his B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering and M.S. in Structural Engineering and Material Mechanics from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of California.

Back to School
by Shalva Marjanishvili & Brian Katz
The Civil Engineering department at Santa Clara University took a bold leap in the Fall of 2011 and offered its students an Intro to Blast Analysis course taught by Hinman’s Technical Director, Shalva Marjanishvili… Encouraged by the positive response to this class, Marjanishvili is returning to Santa Clara University and offering a second course in the upcoming Spring 2012 school term.

Highlights of the 14th ISIEMS
by & Andy Coughlin Brian Katz
...the 14th International Symposium on Interaction of the Effects of Munitions with Structures (ISIEMS) conference… represents a collaborative effort of North American, Asian, and European blast engineers to come together and share advancements and conceptual innovations with the hope of equipping engineers with the best tools to mitigate man-made threats and implement physical security design solutions. Andy and myself were among an impressive roster of speakers presenting on a wide variety of topics.
