Egor Pavlovich Popov (Russian:Егор Павлович Попов; February 6, 1913 – April 19, 2001) was a structural andseismic engineer who helped transform the design of buildings, structures, and civil engineering around earthquake-prone regions.

A relative of inventorAlexander Stepanovich Popov, Egor Popov was born inKiev,Russian Empire and after moving to the United States of America in 1927, he eventually earned a B.S. fromUC Berkeley, his master's degree fromMIT and his doctorate degree fromStanford in 1946.^[1]

During his career, Popov was primarily famous for his work doing research for theUniversity of California, Berkeley. Some of his accomplishments include: working with buckling problems forNASA in Houston, Texas, involvement with theSan Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, assisting with pipe testing for theTrans-Alaskan Pipeline, developing theSteel Moment Resisting Frame (resistance to earthquake forces), and eccentrically braced frames (ebf's).^[2]
