About
I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at TU Delft, contributing to the CRANN (Climate Resilient Adapted National Network) project, where I focus on developing risk-based frameworks for bridge infrastructure networks under flood hazards. My research is centered around risk and reliability assessment, particularly for bridges exposed to extreme flooding events.
I earned my Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from IIT Bombay, where I proposed a risk-based assessment framework integrating fragility and resilience models for flood-prone riverine bridges. My technical expertise spans probabilistic modeling, vulnerability analysis, and advanced finite element simulations using OpenSees. I’ve published several peer-reviewed papers in these areas and remain passionate about building safer, more resilient infrastructure in the face of climate change.
