Welcome to my website. I am an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Northumbria University (NU), UK, specialising in geotechnical earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. I received my PhD in Civil Engineering from Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and subsequently held research positions at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences (Germany), Kyoto University (Japan), and the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) before joining Northumbria.

My research lies at the intersection of geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, and engineering seismology, with a focus on understanding and predicting earthquake ground shaking and site effects through the integration of seismological observations, near-surface geophysics, physics-based modelling, and data-driven approaches. The overarching goal is to improve hazard and risk assessment for natural perils, particularly earthquakes.

My research interests include:

• Site-effect characterisation using observations, statistical modelling, physics-based simulations, and advanced data-driven methods;

• Inversion and characterisation of near-surface and subsurface properties using microtremor and seismic observations;

• Uncertainty and variability quantification;

• Site classification;

• Seismic signal processing; and

• FAIR database development.

I am particularly interested in harnessing emerging approaches, including machine learning and deep learning (ML/DL), for scientific discovery and problem-solving in engineering seismology.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in research or knowledge-exchange collaborations, or in pursuing a research degree under my supervision.
