Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of geotechnical engineering and earthquake engineering. I am particularly interested in understanding earthquake ground motions, site effects, and soil behavior during earthquakes. My work includes ground motion processing, seismic site response analysis, and engineering seismology.
