Research Interests & Career Goals

My research interests encompass the field of structural design, repair and materials,
with more of a focus on the subject of reinforced, prestressed and post-tensioned concrete
structures, as well as the behavior of existing and new materials combined with concrete
and the development of design models and provisions.

 

Also, my current career goals include serving my students by teaching, inspiring, and

leading them to achieve their desired outcomes, and helping the national & international

community by providing a wide array of professional services.
