Current Research and Scholarly Interests
I work on advanced numerical methods that harness the massive parallelism of GPUs, i.e., real-time computer chips originally developed for graphics rendering, to overcome computational bottlenecks in structural simulations, specifically in the real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) of tall buildings in order to enable more realistic and faster simulations. I use graphics processors, for the first time, to accelerate RTHS to enable higher-fidelity "on-the-fly" simulation of civil structures.
