His research focuses on modeling uncertainty, robust analysis and design
of high-performance systems, reliability-based design, life-cycle cost
optimization and structural control and health monitoring. His current
research projects include topics on protection of base-isolated structures
from near-fault earthquakes, applications of mass dampers to offshore platforms,
reliability-based optimization of controlled systems, and design of a grid
of oscillating buoys for wave-energy harvesting. He teaches undergraduate
classes in structural engineering and in structural design and graduate
level classes in probability logic and in stochastic system analysis, Bayesian
updating and optimization.
