Combining applied engineering with research-driven analysis, he is a licensed Professional Engineer with a Ph.D. in structural engineering and more than 12 years of experience working across residential structures, expeditionary systems, and large-scale water resource infrastructure. His work focuses on structural behavior under complex loading conditions, including failure analysis of reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and cross-laminated timber systems, as well as advanced modeling using finite element, numerical, and experimental methods to evaluate performance under impulsive and blast-type forces. He has also developed testing systems and methodologies involving optical instrumentation, data acquisition, digital image correlation (DIC), and damage characterization for structural performance evaluation.

His experience includes structural design, inspection, rehabilitation, and repair of critical infrastructure such as tunnels, spillways, canal-related systems, seawalls, and water resource structures, along with development of testing methodologies and instrumentation for evaluating structural response and damage mechanisms. Earlier in his career, he served as a structural engineer for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and engineering firms supporting highway and water infrastructure projects, where he performed structural analysis, inspections, rehabilitation design, and construction-phase engineering services. He has also contributed to the analysis of construction defects, structural failures, and material performance, and has provided expert witness support through case-related evaluation and consulting. His professional affiliations include the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and other organizations related to structural engineering, infrastructure systems, and mechanics of materials.
