Research Interests

I am a civil engineer and geoscientist with a strong interest in the geosystems that sustain the life
and infrastructure above; and host water, wastes, and resources within. The overarching goal of
my research is to advance the engineering of geosystems in the context of climate change,
infrastructure resilience, and energy- and water resources. My research involves innovative
experimenting, visualization, and modeling of geosystems of various scales, to elucidate the
fundamental physics and guide the real-life engineering of geosystems. Examples of this
endeavor are, infrastructure resilience against geohazards, enhanced energy recoveries, and
management of induced earthquakes.
