07/2025 I attended the 2025 AISC Steel Educator Workshop at AISC's Chicago headquearter! We gathered to discuss topics such as course design, hands-on demonstrations, student engagement, and special topics like AI and sustainability. Thank you to AISC for funding my travel through the Advancing Structural Steel Education Award.
09/2025 & 02/2025 I took field trips with my undergraduate Steel Design class (CE 431) and graduate Steel Design class (CE 530) to the Pioneer Memorial Bridge in Richland, WA, and the Metals Fabrication Company in Spokane, WA, respectively. These were excellent opportunities to connect classroom learning with real-world applications. I hope these visits inspire my students to take an interest in steel research and the steel industry. I appreciate AISC for sponsoring these trips through the Faculty-led Field Trip Grants.
05/2025 I presented "Detection and analysis of local buckling in a profiled steel deck using optical sensing techniques" in the Stability session at the 2025 EMI conference in Anaheim, CA. Please keep an eye out for the 2026 EMI conference in Boulder, CO. I am part of the organizing committee for the Stability session!
07/2024 I attended the four-day 2024 NHERI RAPID workshop at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA! I learned a lot about novel technologies used for collecting data from natural hazards event. Thank you to the RAPID team for organizing it.
05/2024 I presented two research projects at the 2024 EMI conference in Chicago! The presentations were titled (1) Buckling Identification of a Profiled Steel Deck through Strain Measurements using Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing and (2) A Data-Driven Approach to Hollow Structural Section Column Design. You can find the book of abstracts here: Link
05/2024 I moderated minisymposia MS 201: Failure and Function in Structural Stability Applications and MS 207: Data-Driven Methods and Research for Physical Testing in Structural Engineering at the 2024 EMI conference in Chicago. I also served as a judge for the Structural Stability Student Competition.
03/2024 I received the 2024 Yoon Duk Kim Young Researcher Award from the Structural Stability Research Council within the American Institute of Steel Construction! See AISC's posting here: Link
01/2024 I was featured in an article posted by the UW Madison College of Engineering! Prof. Blum's team conducted a very fun project--vacuum box testing. See details about this exciting project through UW's posting here: Link
