About
Welcome to my personal website!
I have created this website to highlight my academic and professional accomplishments, share my research projects and interests, and provide access to teaching and programming material I have created. You'll also find basic contact information should you wish to get in touch with me.
Be part of my research team
I work as Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath, UK, and I am constantly looking for motivated PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, as well as other academic, industry, policymakers, NGOs, museums, and cultural heritage institution partners to join or collaborate with my research team. If you work or would be interested in participating in projects focused on, but not limited to:
- Conservation techniques for historic buildings and bridges.
- Non-destructive inspection methods for heritage structures.
- Diagnosis and intervention design for aging infrastructure.
- Monitoring systems for buildings with historical and cultural value.
- Sustainable and vernacular architecture methods.
- Structural behaviour and mechanical properties of structures.
- Performance of earthen structures under various conditions.
- Development of specialized constitutive models for traditional materials.
- Advanced non-linear numerical simulations in structural engineering.
- Enhancing the robustness and resilience of the built environment.
- Implementation of artificial intelligence in structural engineering and conservation.
- Asset information modelling for heritage conservation.
- Large-scale experimental testing of sustainable building materials.
- Structural health monitoring systems for historic sites.
- Industry 5.0 and Digital twins.
- Regenerative design and nature-based solutions.

Why Joining?
As a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bath, you will be part of a vibrant academic community that fosters innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including laboratories equipped for large-scale testing, advanced computational tools, and a network of leading experts in the field. Our location in a UNESCO World Heritage city also provides a unique context for research in conservation and heritage.
Collaboration with my research team could open the door to mutually beneficial partnerships and drive innovation. Whether you represent an academic institution, industry, policymaking body, museum, or NGO, working together would allows us to combine expertise, resources, and perspectives to tackle pressing challenges. From advancing conservation technologies and refining regenerative building practices to informing policy and enhancing public engagement, our partnerships can create opportunities for shared learning, knowledge exchange, and real-world impact.
