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:

​

  1. Multi-hazard  reliability and risk-based resilience assessment of coastal communities.

  2. Performance-based earthquake/tsunami engineering.

  3. Development and testing of structural systems under tsunami and hurricane wave and surge loading.

  4. Development, calibration, verification and validation (V&V) of infrastructure fragility and vulnerability models.

  5. Development of GIS-based tools for lifeline damage and recovery modeling.

  6. High-performance and high-throughput computing.
