- Role: Vice Provost for Academic Facilities
- Academic Affiliation: Professor of Civil Engineering
- Committees: Space Planning, Safety, Facilities
His research focuses on structural engineering and bridge infrastructure, particularly post-tensioned concrete systems, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), and crack control in concrete structures. Key areas include torsional strength analysis, seismic rehabilitation, and cost-effective preservation programs for aging bridges.
Recent publications highlight experimental validation of numerical models for post-tensioned girders, FRP applications in bridge repair, and innovative design methodologies for concrete elements. His work often integrates field investigations with laboratory testing to address practical challenges in bridge engineering.
As Vice Provost, he oversees academic facilities planning while maintaining an active research agenda in structural systems and materials.
