My research focuses on advancing the understanding of structural behavior under extreme loading conditions through the integration of computational mechanics, nonlinear finite element modeling, and experimental investigations. I am particularly interested in the seismic performance of steel and composite structures, with an emphasis on developing reliable analytical and numerical tools for performance assessment, structural resilience, and infrastructure safety.
Looking forward, I aim to integrate data-driven approaches and structural health monitoring techniques with computational modeling to support the development of smarter and more resilient civil infrastructure.
Research Interests
Core areas guiding my completed, current, and future research.
Developed and validated a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model in ANSYS Mechanical APDL and completed a 210-model parametric investigation of cold-formed stainless-steel HSS columns subjected to combined axial compression and cyclic bending.
My current research focuses on the experimental and numerical investigation of structural members subjected to seismic loading. I am presently working on the seismic response assessment of steel and composite structural members through shake table testing and advanced nonlinear finite element analysis.
Long-term research directions and intended development.
In the future, I intend to expand my research toward structural health monitoring, machine learning-assisted structural assessment, and performance-based earthquake engineering, integrating computational simulations with experimental observations to develop safer, smarter, and more resilient infrastructure systems.
