Research Focus: His work centers on masonry arch bridges affected by foundation movement, employing computational modeling to assess structural integrity and develop rehabilitation strategies. Key areas include finite element analysis of aging infrastructure, structural health monitoring, and maintenance optimization for century-old bridges.

Publication Trends: Recent work (2018-2024) demonstrates consistent focus on masonry bridge behavior under settlement using numerical methods. Research bridges civil engineering theory with practical infrastructure assessment, addressing critical challenges in preserving Europe's aging bridge stock.

Professional Recognition:

• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)

Teaching & Supervision: Leads Design and Construction Management modules including the Constructionarium field course. Currently unavailable for PhD supervision per institutional records.

Practical Engagement: Coordinates hands-on Constructionarium experiences where students build scaled engineering projects, directly connecting academic theory with industry practice through the Centre for Future Engineering.
