I am a researcher currently serving as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Virginia Tech. My research centers on pavement materials, rheology, and moisture damage, with a broader interest in understanding how infrastructure materials respond to stress, environmental exposure, and time, and how these responses govern long-term resilience. In recent years, I have been broadening my research portfolio to include the resilience of road infrastructure and machine learning.

In parallel with academic research, I have gained experience in engineering practice, which continues to shape my perspective on materials: not merely as laboratory systems, but as critical elements of real infrastructure that must perform reliably under demanding service conditions. I have also developed practical tools to support infrastructure evaluation and management, including a pothole management system and a deflection bowl parameters calculator.
