Research Interests
| Reliability-based Design Optimization | |
| Developed an algorithm for system reliability-based design and topology optimization (SRBDO & SRBTO) based on the single loop method and matrix-based system reliability (MSR) method. | |
| Multiresolution Topology Optimization | |
| Developed a large-scale muitiresolution topology optimization algorithm to obtain high resolution with relatively low computational cost. | |
| Probabilistic Fracture Assessment | |
| Evaluation of probability of failure of functionally graded materials (FGMs) using the interaction integral method and first-order reliability method (FORM). | |
