Building knowledge for resilient infrastructure systems — through structural engineering, probabilistic risk assessment, multi-hazard modeling, and monitoring-informed analysis.
Engineering under uncertainty, with impact on resilience and decision-making.
I am a civil engineering researcher with interests in infrastructure resilience, seismic and flood risk, structural reliability, and data-informed modeling. My research aims to connect engineering mechanics, uncertainty quantification, and system-level decision frameworks so that infrastructure performance can be assessed more realistically under extreme events and over time.
This website presents my research directions, selected work, academic activities, and opportunities for collaboration with researchers, students, agencies, and industry partners.
A focused portfolio across infrastructure risk and resilience.
Seismic Risk & Nuclear Safety
Risk-informed assessment of critical infrastructure under evolving seismic hazard, with emphasis on probabilistic methods and decision support for nuclear and high-consequence facilities.
Flood Resilience of Bridges
Bridge scour, hydraulic loading, and resilience-based performance assessment for transportation infrastructure under extreme flood events and compound hazard scenarios.
Monitoring, Reliability & Digital Twins
Combining sensing, uncertainty quantification, and simulation to support infrastructure monitoring, reliability analysis, and lifecycle decision-making.
Selected directions and ongoing work.
