About me
As a researcher, developer, and educator in civil engineering, my work focuses on the intersection of materials science, artificial intelligence, and construction automation. I am committed to developing resilient, sustainable, and accessible construction materials and technologies that address the unique challenges of building in remote and harsh environments.
My mission is to transform construction practices through circular economy principles and in-situ resource utilization. I aim to create innovative solutions for regions like Alaska and other remote areas that face logistical and environmental constraints, such as short construction seasons, limited access to skilled labor, and high dependence on imported materials. These challenges call for localized, adaptable, and intelligent infrastructure systems.
My research includes both fundamental and applied areas:
Fundamental Research:
• Chemical characterization and microstructural, morphological, and micromechanical analysis of cementitious composites
• AI-driven formulation, prediction, modeling, and optimization for performance assessment
• Investigation of engineering properties and long-term durability of advanced composites
Applied Research:
• Development of sustainable construction materials using alternative binders and CO₂ sequestration technologies
• Integration of nanotechnology, responsive polymers, and adaptive materials for smart infrastructure
• Automation in construction through AI-assisted additive manufacturing (3D printing), remote monitoring, and data-driven decision-making
Through interdisciplinary collaboration, I strive to bridge the gap between material innovation and field implementation—advancing equitable, cost-effective, and climate-resilient construction systems for extreme environments on Earth and beyond.As a researcher, developer, and educator in civil engineering, my work focuses on the intersection of materials science, artificial intelligence, and construction automation.
