- Understanding the fundamental principles and material properties governing the seismic performance of geotechnical and geo-environmental systems.
- Investigating the performance-based design strategies involving unsaturated soil mechanics which enable more efficient use of materials in geotechnical systems.
- Exploring the effects of soil-structure interaction on the behavior of infrastructure during surface vibration or earthquake shaking.
- Exploring the experimental characterization of geo-materials and physical modeling of geotechnical systems using full- and small-scale models.
