Robb has been a professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, since 2005. He earned a Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering, with minors in engineering seismology and structural reliability. His research and consulting focuses on the physics and probability of natural hazards such as; strong ground motions, seismic soil liquefaction, surface fault rupture, seismic induced landslides, debris flow, and others. His teaching includes undergraduate and graduate courses in; geotechnical engineering, engineering risk analysis, geological engineering, earthquake engineering, and others. He has been a member of ten earthquake reconnaissance teams traveling to Nepal, Japan, Chile, Alaska, Turkey, India, Mexico, and around California. Robb was appointed a Fulbright Scholar to Chile for 2017-2020 and is currently an editor for the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering.
