Research

Welcome to my personal website. My research objectives are to better understand the physics of interaction of the built environment with the earthquake hazard, and improve the sustainability and resilience of structures and infrastructure systems, by integrating the advanced modeling tools,powerful computing platforms, and data-driven predictive approaches. My ongoing and past research encompass the following major topics. Please click the title for more details.


Seismic risk assessment and management of natural gas storage and pipeline infrastructure

Investigation of the effects of surface topography on the seismic structural demands for a region of Istanbul

Reduced-order modeling tools for SSI analysis

Development of validated methods for soil-structure analysis of buried structures

Fragility-based seismic performance assessment of buried structures

Constitutive modeling of soils for nonlinear site response and soil-structure interaction analyses
