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.
