Research Projects

Our research group focuses on risk-informed decision-making for infrastructure systems and communities exposed to natural hazards aimed at providing a rational and quantitative basis for engineering decision-making.

Our current research projects include:

1. Understanding the Role of Citizen Engagement and Multidirectional Information Exchange in Community Resilience to Wildfires (Sponsor: NSF)

2. Resilient Communities via Risk-driven Infrastructure Planning and Automated Restoration (Sponsor: DOE)

3. The Circular Home: Development and Demonstration of a Net-Negative-Carbon, Reusable Residence (Sponsor: DOE)

4. Alternative Jet Fuel Supply Chain Analysis (Sponsor: FAA)

5. Data-driven Dynamic Wildfire Risk Assessment for Resilient Communities (Sponsor: Google)

6. Life-Cycle Fire Performance Assessment and Enhancement of Reinforced Concrete Bridges in Chloride-laden Environments (Sponsor: TriDurLE, National Center for Transportation Infrastructure Durability & Life-Extension)

Our research projects have been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Google, Department of Transportation (DOT), National University Transportation Center, and Natural Hazards Center. 

Our completed research works can be found on the Publications page.
