Earthquake engineering with concentration on seismic protective systems (seismic isolation, damping systems, adaptive systems and semi-active systems) and emphasis on behavior, modeling, testing, development of analysis tools, development of design procedures and assessment of performance.

• Probabilistic seismic performance assessment of seismically isolated buildings.
• Development of damping system for open space.
• Development of three-dimensional seismic isolation system.
• Development of low-cost seismic isolation system for residential construction.
