Research
My research focuses on sustainable and durable ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), with an emphasis on incorporating recycled materials and nanomaterials to improve the performance, durability, and sustainability of cement-based materials. My research also includes structural health monitoring using advanced technologies, such as digital image correlation (DIC) and fiber-optic sensing, as well as life-cycle assessment of infrastructure systems.
