Research interests encompass structural behavior of composite materials, mesoscale modeling of concrete properties, seismic resilience in precast systems, and sustainable alternatives like seawater sea-sand concrete and recycled aggregates. Recent work highlights fiber hybridization effects, self-sensing composites, and innovative construction methodologies.

Their publications from 2025–2024 demonstrate expertise in concrete technology, finite element analysis, and composite structural systems. Articles investigate rubber particle impacts, GFRP-reinforced culverts, and synergy effects in fiber-reinforced seawater concrete. Key subfields include structural health monitoring, durability, and mechanical property optimization.
