Research
My research focuses on advancing the assessment and design of infrastructure systems subjected to extreme loading through the development of real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) frameworks that couple physical experiments with high-fidelity computational models.
My work emphasizes multi-physics cyber-physical simulations incorporating soil-structure, fluid-structure, and aeroelastic interaction effects using neural-network-based surrogate models and real-time digital twins.
