This research investigates how landslides disrupt New Zealand's road network. By analysing past landslides, linking landslide severity to road impacts, and combining these relationships with landslide forecasts, the project aims to predict future road closures, improve emergency planning, reduce community isolation, and enhance public safety during severe weather and earthquakes.
This research develops quality control standards for fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge reinforcement, a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel. By testing FRP materials under extreme conditions, the work helps make long-lasting, rust-free bridges a reliable construction standard, reducing maintenance costs, extending bridge lifespans, and improving infrastructure resilience in coastal environments.
My research uses high-resolution maps and video-game simulation software to model future flooding in Abu Dhabi under projected sea-level rise. The immersive tool helps identify risks, guide infrastructure adaptation, protect sensitive areas, and support long-term planning. By visualizing future scenarios, the project empowers communities and policymakers to take proactive climate action.
