With more than 15 years of experience in the field of geotechnical engineering, I have assisted numerous clients in public and private sectors by delivering practical solutions to their various problems involving analysis, design, construction, and management of large, interdisciplinary engineering projects. My doctorate dissertation has systematically explored the seismic site response of partially-saturated soils, aiming to mitigate some of the uncertainties involved in the site response analysis. I truly enjoy solving unknowns of the geotechnical field and proudly serve to tackle the most challenging projects in academia and industry.
