Research

I apply experimental investigation and computational modeling methods to improve post-hazard performance. This involves:

  • enhancing performance of nonstructural components to shorten functional recovery time
  • advancing cold-formed steel as a structural system for multi-hazard-resistant housing
  • developing machine learning and computer vision methods for construction quality and risk assessment

Teaching

I believe in cultivating growth-minded, student-centered classrooms that encourage engagement.

  • Develop lesson plans with backward design with defined learning outcomes and low-stake assessments
  • Weave examples from a global civil engineering context to foster a sense of belonging in diverse student body
  • Mentor students through research immersion, reflective advising, and support networks
