• Uncertainty Quantification: In geotechnical engineering, I am dedicated to developing robust techniques for quantifying uncertainties in geotechnical parameters and conditions. This research empowers engineers to make more informed decisions and optimize site investigation efforts. In environmental engineering, my focus extends to quantifying uncertainties in environmental parameters and assessing their impact on remediation efforts.

• Data-Driven Modeling: Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, I work on data-driven models that can predict geotechnical and environmental behavior based on historical data and real-time monitoring, thereby enhancing risk assessment in construction projects and environmental remediation.

• Soil-Structure Interaction and Environmental Impact: Investigating soil-structure interaction under dynamic loads and its impact on the environment is a crucial aspect of my research. By combining advanced numerical simulations with experimental validation, I aim to contribute to more efficient and resilient infrastructure systems while considering environmental sustainability.
