I’m a large-scale experimentalist focused on innovative materials and sustainable, resilient structural design. Key focus areas include:
Structural Mechanics and Design - Understanding and improving how structures perform under real-world loads
Innovative Construction Materials and Technologies - Exploring systems like FRP, aircrete, natural pozzolans, and 3D concrete printing
Resilient Structural Design - Enhancing structural performance under fire, seismic, and multi-hazard conditions
Sustainability and Performance - Advancing low-carbon design and energy-efficient structural systems
Engineering Education - Teaching, mentoring, and empowering the next generation of engineers
