Graduate Teaching And Research Assistant

The petitioner proposes to integrate corrosion-induced mechanisms into finite element analysis to evaluate the residual strength of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete elements. This work aims to enhance numerical modeling procedures and contribute to the advancement of American Concrete Institute standards and the concrete repair industry. The research facilitates timely repairs and rehabilitation of concrete structures using new generations of concrete and rebar products.

The petitioner proposes to continue research in structural engineering, specifically focusing on developing advanced construction materials to reduce environmental pollution from concrete production. This work includes refining methods for simulating concrete fractures and advancing the seismic analysis of liquid storage tanks to improve the safety of critical infrastructure like dams.

The petitioner proposes to develop sustainable concrete technologies using advanced material characterization, concrete mix design, and finite element analysis. The work focuses on creating next-generation cementitious binders and concrete structures using recycled industrial by-products to reduce CO2 emissions in the construction industry.

The petitioner proposes to develop innovative, eco-friendly concrete materials that are more cost-effective and durable than traditional materials. Her work focuses on increasing the lifespan of U.S. infrastructure while curbing carbon emissions associated with industrial and agricultural construction processes.
