About

My research focus is hazard assessment, mitigation, prioritization, optimization and management of the built environment. In particular, over the years, I have developed expertise in structural analysis and design of different structural systems including buildings, bridges, among others. I have gained knowledge related to extreme events such as earthquakes, and have utilized various methods to conduct risk, resilience and sustainability related investigations on a single structure as well as on infrastructure systems under extreme events.

​

The aim of my research is to better assess the consequences from extreme events and to effectively prevent, mitigate, protect, and manage the built environment. For that purpose, I have explored sensitivity, reliability, optimization, decision-making, performance-based, and machine learning approaches in the context of hazard management. I also aim to explore disruptive and innovative technologies such as deep learning, blockchain, robotics, Internet of things, big data, digital twin, real-time monitoring systems, and other arising future technologies for smart hazard management of the built environment.
