 A leader in infrastructure performance and vulnerability, he has particular expertise in sensing technologies, structural identification, structural health monitoring, numerical modeling, and estimation of service life. His research has resulted in a unique system (termed THMPER) capable of performing rapid structural safety assessment of highway bridges; a novel temperature-driven response approach to structural concerns; and various model-experiment correlation strategies to assess infrastructure vulnerability with a focus on multiple model techniques.
