Gilbert Arthur Hegemier is an American engineer and academic known for his work in structural and aerospace engineering, as well as applied physics. He is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and is recognized as one of the founding faculty members of the institution.[5] Hegemier's research has focused on enhancing public safety through the development of retrofitting techniques for structures in earthquake-prone areas, as well as on protective technologies against blast and ballistic threats. His contributions have been acknowledged by his involvement with professional organizations such as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, where he has been a fellow since 1997.
