Actually, the small earthquakes they
happen every day and sometimes you don't
feel it, you don't know about it,
but they happen every day.
My name is Vladimir Yanusik and I work for the
State of California Department of
Conservation CGS California Geological Survey and I work with the Strong Motion
Instrumentation Program. We install seismic sensors all over the State of
California pretty much. The Strong Motion Instrumentation Program has over 1,200
sites and each site may have multiple recorders, multiple sensors, and those
sensors they called accelerometers and
they pick up the earthquake movements.
The data gets captured and gets used by the
seismic community. It gets used
designing new bridges, designing new buildings,
and assisting with our new
earthquake early warning systems.
I was really interested in electronics. I think
I got that passion from my dad. He was like a radio hobbyist. One day you come back from work
to find his radio disassembled [laughter].
And I'm like, "This is cool!" You know? I reversed engineered it.
It's my drive, my passion to work with electronics where the
electronics gets used in a way to help the people, serve the people in California.
I think that that that sounded real exciting. So, my favorite site that I've
worked on is Salesforce tower. It's a significant building. It is the tallest west
of Mississippi River. Love to work for people of California and I enjoy doing what I do.
Sometimes there's difficult projects, but
when you think of yourself as a public servant and then you
contributing to safety of the bridges, dams, high-rises, fire
stations, and hospitals it definitely motivates me and it's a great feeling.
