Research Interest
Uncertainty quantiï¬cation in structural and solid mechanics: Numerous sources of system uncertainty such as material property variability and loading randomness generate response uncertainty in structural and solid mechanics problems. My interests in this area lie in developing: (1) new methods for representing the input uncertainties as random ï¬elds and generating samples of those random ï¬elds; (2) efï¬cient methods for quantifying uncertainty in systems with large numbers of random input parameters and performing dimension reduction on such systems; (3) System reliability effects in the structural systems Wind turbine analysis and reliability: Wind turbine research has concentrated largely on the energyproducing turbine itself, yet construction of the support structure can contribute up to 25% of the total life-cycle cost of an offshore turbine.
