He served as principal geotechnical engineer on the California Academy of Sciences, de Young Museum, UC San Francisco's Ray and Dagmar Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building, the new Stanford Hospital, and the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital expansion. Gyimah is also a noted speaker who has lectured on performance-based design along the West Coast for the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute.
