<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 20.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My goal in joining NICMAR as an Assistant Professor is to help students connect complex structural engineering concepts with the real-world needs of the construction industry. I am drawn to NICMAR because it focuses on more than just calculations; it focuses on how those designs affect project costs, timelines, and site safety. I plan to use my expertise to show students how smart engineering choices can improve the durability and economic value of a project. My teaching style involves using real-life examples and case studies to turn textbook formulas into practical skills. I want to prepare NICMAR graduates to handle technical challenges while leading large-scale projects. I am excited to contribute to NICMAR through hands-on teaching and research that keeps the institution at the leading level of construction innovation.</span></p>
