Research GoalĀ & Outcomes
The goal of my research is to improve the performance and resilience of infrastructure systems through optimal maintenance and renewal strategies. This research area is positioned at the intersection of civil engineering, urban systems, and natural hazards. The outcomes of my research inform infrastructure systems planning and engineering decisions, such as those related to resource allocation, maintenance and renewal planning, and project selection.
Areas of Interest:
- Infrastructure systems performance and resilience
- Infrastructure management decision-support systems
- Sustainable and resilient communities
- Disaster and hazard informatics
