Welcome!
I am a research associate within the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at the University of Texas, Austin.
My research interests have revolved around developing computational and physical modeling and data analytics methodologies in design and performance assessment of life pipelines and infrastructure systems, to further enhance their resilience and sustainability.
Here are a few keywords describing my research interests:
Soil-structure interaction (SSI) modeling and numerical simulation
Physics-based large-scale nonlinear ground motion simulation
Computational structural mechanics and nonlinear finite element analysis, with expertise in constitutive modeling of soils
Performance-based seismic assessment for distributed lifelines and buried infrastructure systems
Multi-hazard performance and risk assessment of civil structures
Data analytics and machine learning
