Our research focuses on low-damage seismic-resistant steel structures, robustness of steel structures against extreme  hazards such as blast and fire, and steel-concrete composite bridges. In particular, our research portfolio includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:

• Low-damage steel connections for earthquake resilience.
• Seismic-resistant steel frames with rate-dependent (viscous, viscoelastic) passive dampers.
• Seismic-resistant steel frames with metallic energy dissipation devices.
• Design or retrofit of steel connections for enhanced robustness against extreme hazards such as blast and fire.
• Accelerated construction, deconstruction, and maintenance of steel-concrete composite bridges.
