Graduate Assistantships:
Florida International University (August 2024 - Present)
Graduate Research Assistant (August 2024 - Present)
Assist in researching wind-driven rain intrusion through sliding glass door systems during hurricanes.
Review and analyze building codes and standards in collaboration with FIU, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and the Florida Building Commission.
We are developing a digital model that will monitor how hurricanes affect buildings over time, including storm surge, waves, and rain, in a way that helps us find the best ways to reduce damage. This method combines detailed fragility models, how different systems rely on each other, and social and economic factors to improve city resilience and support fair, practical planning.
Key elements identified:
Core Object: Digital Twin of the Built Environment.
Primary Hazard: Hurricanes and their multi-hazards (surge, wave, and pluvial flood).
Problem Addressed: Current methods cannot probabilistically simulate concurrent, time-dependent hazards along with the vulnerabilities of components and systems.
Key Innovations:
We will develop high-resolution, machine learning-verified fragility portfolios for buildings.
The system-aware digital twins model the interdependencies between physical, social, and infrastructure.
Resilience-informed decision support using low-computation ML for optimal mitigation.
Primary Goal: To shift from reactive recovery to proactive adaptation, improving resilience with socioeconomic equity.
