My research interests include research on seismic performance of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings, particularly in developing countries. I have carried out extensive research on the behavior of beam-column connections; both code-compliant and those having construction deficiencies resulting from lack of quality assurance on construction sites. I have conducted research on material characterization and behavior of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings. Moreover, I am interested in research on modern Engineering Cementitious Materials and the use of waste materials in the civil engineering industry.
