I am a PhD candidate in the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University, USA. For my PhD research, I am studying fire induced collapse behavior of steel buildings. For my Masters' thesis I investigated the dynamic behavior of bridges on well foundations under seismic conditions. As a graduate student and a consultant, I have more than six years of experience in the behavior of structural systems under extreme loading conditions (e.g., earthquake, fire, wind, and impact loading). I specialize in failure investigation, dynamic analysis and FEM modeling of various types of structural systems.

• Fire and its Effects on Structural Systems
• Structural Mechanics
• Finite Element Method of Analysis
• Earthquakes and Structural Dynamics
