I am Sujith Mangalathu, a post-doctoral research scholar at Georgia Institute of Technology, working under the supervision of Dr. Reginald DesRoches and Dr. Jamie Padgett (Rice University).  My primary research interests are in the application of probabilistic and statistical methods for risk assessment of structures and lifeline systems. I'm particularly focused on the regional risk assessment of bridges, using advanced statistical and probabilistic approaches.
