Research

The Geosystems Engineering and Intelligence Laboratory (GEI) at UCF study multiple geological hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, liquefaction, and coastal erosion, and their effects on infrastructure systems using a wide range of approaches, including remote sensing, signal processing, geomaterial testing, computational simulation, applied statistics, and machine learning. Main research thrusts include site-specific and regional assessment of earthquake site responses, ground-motion modeling, near-real-time liquefaction hazard assessment, landslide mechanism and mitigation, geospatial surrogate modeling, and uncertainty quantification. Summaries of my contributions in the mentioned areas are presented below.
