Research Interests:
- Alternative Project Delivery Methods
- Project Risk Analysis
- Cost Engineering
Teaching and Research Statement:
- My teaching and research involve construction
engineering and management with a specific focus on innovative delivery
strategies for infrastructure and the built environment. I am currently
teaching graduate and undergraduate classes in the area of engineering risk and decision analysis, construction equipment and methods, and cost engineering. My teaching philosophy employs active and
collaborative learning methods. I currently have an active research
program with funded projects from the public and private sectors. My professional service involves work with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and
the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA).
