When practicing as a structural engineer, I was fortunate enough to work on a wide-range of projects including bridges, water and waste-water treatment facilities, dams, schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, and condition assessments. I use this experience to bring a "practitioner's perspective" into my teaching and research.
My structural engineering research interests include the experimental testing, design, behavior, modeling and performance of structural concrete and masonry; specifically as it relates to large-scale assemblies, discontinuity regions, condition assessments, repairs, and serviceability limit states.
My engineering education research interests focus on students' sense of belonging and community in the classroom; and improving knowledge transfer through relevancy and situated cognition.
