Welcome
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences, University of Notre Dame. My research focuses on performance-based design and assessment of infrastructures at individual scale as well as community scale subjected to extreme natural hazards such as earthquake, tsunami, and hurricane wave and surge.
​
An updated CV is available for download here: November (2022)
Following is a list of my research expertise and interests:
​
-
Multi-hazard reliability and risk-based resilience assessment of coastal communities.
-
Performance-based earthquake/tsunami engineering.
-
Development and testing of structural systems under tsunami and hurricane wave and surge loading.
-
Development, calibration, verification and validation (V&V) of infrastructure fragility and vulnerability models.
-
Development of GIS-based tools for lifeline damage and recovery modeling.
-
High-performance and high-throughput computing.
