Research interests

I am interested in the analysis, design, and performance of reinforced masonry and concrete structures, modelling of their nonlinear structural behaviour, and repair/retrofit/rehabilitation strategies.  
​
My current lines of research include:
  • Nonlinear analysis, design, and behaviour of masonry and reinforced concrete structures
  • Large-scale system and component testing (seismic and non-seismic)
  • Structural simulation (finite-element analysis, strut-and-tie models)
  • Use of innovative materials and details
​
 Applications are invited for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in these areas.

For undergraduate students
For industry: structural testing, evaluation, joint research projects, consulting, and forensic engineering services are available.
