RESEARCH INTERESTS

Structural engineering

  • Numerical modelling of reinforced concrete, timber and asphalt pavement.
  • Fire safety and risk analysis.
  • Structural steel design and traditional structural engineering.
  • Structural stability.

Civil and Environmental engineering 

  • Using sustainable material to enhance pavement characteristics.
  • Human behaviour in fire and the effect of that on designing the buildings to maximizing its safety.
  • Artificial neural network uses in civil engineering.

Public Engagement

Organises annual International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), promoting diversity and accessibility in STEM subjects, with a focus on engineering and a volunteer as part of the podcast team of Technically Speaking | a science and engineering discussion.
