Areas of Interest

Ahsan Kareem uses synergistic approaches, including computer models, laboratory and full-scale experiments to better understand and predict the impact of natural hazards on the constructed environment and to develop measures to enhance their performance.

Specific topics are:

• Database-enabled design, advanced analysis framework and monitoring of tall buildings, long span
  bridges and wind turbines
• Damping and design of “Aqua Sloshers” (liquid dampers)
• Safety and risk assessment, performance-based design and impact of climate change
• Characterization and modeling of extreme winds, e.g., hurricanes and thunderstorms
• Development of cyber-based virtual collaborative research platforms, living laboratories and crowd
  sourcing the design of civil infrastructure
• Wavelets, shapelets, Volterra systems, POD and DMD for data analysis and modeling
• Scientific machine learning, surrogate modeling, data analytics, digital twins
• Computational fluid dynamics
