I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a primary research focus on investigating the seismic response of geotechnical structures. My research employs the discrete-element method to study the dynamic behavior of these structures under seismic loading. My first study examines the seismic response of tunnels constructed in deep dry granular deposit. Deep foundations and retaining walls are the currently examined structures in my dissertation work.

As a teaching assistant, I played a key role in teaching support classes of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. In this position, I presented engaging and informative lectures to students, helping them to understand complex issues and furthering their understanding of key concepts.

As a part-time Design Engineer, I was responsible for the design and engineering of a diverse range of structures, including water tanks, swimming pools, bridges, and residential buildings. In this role, I took on various responsibilities related to both superstructure and substructure elements.
