Applied structural research connecting experimentation, simulation, and engineering practice.
Research interests include wind engineering, hybrid simulation, structural dynamics, seismic engineering, advanced materials, and performance assessment.
Real-time aero-elastic hybrid simulation
Doctoral research at the University of Toronto focused on real-time aero-elastic hybrid simulation of a base-pivoting model building in a wind tunnel. The work connected physical aerodynamic testing with computational structural response.
Shape-memory-alloy reinforced concrete
Graduate research at the University of British Columbia examined the performance of shape-memory-alloy reinforced-concrete frames under extreme loading.
Areas of continuing interest
Wind–structure interaction
Aeroelastic response, wind-tunnel experimentation, and dynamic behaviour of slender structures.
Seismic performance
Nonlinear analysis, retrofit assessment, response-spectrum analysis, and performance-based evaluation.
Infrastructure resilience
Durability, rehabilitation, lifecycle thinking, and risk-informed decisions for public infrastructure.
Hybrid experimentation
Combining physical testing and numerical simulation to study complex structural response.
