About Me 

My passion is to create computational models and data analysis tools that help us make the best decisions for dealing with climate change challenges.

I have developed novel methods for time-dependent reliability and risk-based design frameworks accounting for nonstationarity and serial correlation embedded in the stochastic climate-ocean processes. I am passionate about importing state-of-the-art data science methodologies to applications in the energy sector and civil infrastructures. It is always inspiring for me to meet and mentor enthusiastic students for their exciting research projects.
