I am a Ph.D. candidate with en route master’s degrees in Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering at NC State, working under the guidance of Dr. Alex Albert. I study how optimization algorithms, sensors, and automation can improve every phase of construction, including preconstruction design decisions, during-construction safety, and post-construction structural health monitoring.

I am always open to exploring new ideas and collaborations. If my research aligns with your interests, I would be glad to connect and exchange perspectives.
Guided students through experiments in Differential Leveling, Closed Traverse, Resection (Total station), Google Earth, Building Layout (Total station), Topographic Surveying (QT Reader), and GPS Rover (Carlson Civil suite). Students learned to collect, analyze, and present survey data, while gaining hands-on experience with traditional and modern surveying tools, enhancing their practical and analytical skills.
Taught students to building construction engineering, focusing on design and construction skills necessary for successful project delivery, especially with Integrated Project Delivery. Topics include building component design, safety, excavation support, formwork, and wood design. Students will learn to estimate loads, design wood structures, and select excavation systems, while addressing safety issues and using building codes effectively.
Study of construction operations as dynamic production processes. Utilization of equipment and other resources to achieve highest levels of productivity, safety, and quality. Covers a wide range of traditional and state-of-the-art construction methods.
Introduces legal topics in the construction industry, covering contract issues, management concerns, and professional ethics. Students learn about contract components, change orders, bonds, insurance, dispute resolution, and licensing requirements. The course provides practical knowledge, preparing students for legal challenges in construction.
I believe teaching is not just about delivering content; it’s about inspiring curiosity and empowering students to grow both academically and personally.
