My primary research interests are in experimental Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics. Past and current research focuses on advanced measurement technologies in structural engineering, large-scale field experimental studies, engineering applications of geophysical measurements, seismic performance of nonstructural elements, and structural condition monitoring.
