My research is in Computational Mechanics, with special focus on application to the problems of geotechnical and mining engineering. I obtained both my bachelor's degree (B.A.Sc.) and master's degree (M.A.Sc.) in Civil Engineering. I joined the Computational Geomechanics Group of the University of Toronto in 2003, where I completed my Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Professor J.H. Curran (2008). I joined Rocscience Inc. in September 2008.

My research interests are focused on the theoretical underpinnings and numerical aspects of computational methods. I look for ways to extend the methods' range of application in the modelling of jointed rock masses. My current and past activities involve continuum-based and discreet element techniques, Cosserat theory of materials with microstructures, and constitutive modelling of anisotropic and jointed materials. I am also familiar with the large deformation and buckling analysis, and mesh adaptively techniques for the finite element solution.

I have been a lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Toronto.
