a) construction engineering and management with a focus on planning, scheduling and control, and the strategic management of construction project and organizational performance. b)critical infrastructure performance and risk analysis, program evaluation including life-cycle analysis, data acquisition, modeling and analysis for condition assessment and performance prediction, security management and optimal capital improvement planning.

a) the management of inter-dependent civil infrastructure integrating life-cycle and security hazards within a resiliency and long-term sustainability framework, with a focus on water, wastewater and energy supply chains.
b) location, condition assessment and asset management of underground infrastructure, using invasive and non-invasive technologies to supports different layers of utilities for expansion, rehabilitation or remediation.
c) modelling of facilities project life cycle risk and performance analysis.
d) development of optimal data acquisition strategies (sensor network location) for response management under simple and combined events scenarios of floods and failures of key infrastructure resources such as dams.
