Systematic evaluation of large language models under semantically equivalent paraphrase stress tests reveals non-trivial accuracy reductions across standard benchmarks, pointing toward benchmark memorization, data contamination, and superficial lexical shortcuts.

Doctoral dissertation investigating low-cycle fatigue fracture of longitudinal reinforcing steel bars and its implications for reinforced concrete shear wall collapse risk and post-earthquake safety using large-scale nonlinear dynamic simulation and probabilistic risk modeling.

Numerical modeling and simulation methodology for low-cycle fatigue fracture of longitudinal reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete walls, combining fiber-section wall modeling, localization regularization, and the Reinforcement Ductile Fracture Model (RDFM), calibrated and validated against 23 cyclic wall laboratory experiments.

Nonlinear dynamic collapse fragility assessment of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings, quantifying how low-cycle fatigue bar fracture accelerates strength degradation and alters seismic collapse risk under earthquake ground motions.

Preliminary virtual reconnaissance assessment of structural, geotechnical, and lifeline performance following the January 7, 2020 Mw 6.4 Puerto Rico earthquake sequence, documenting damage patterns across buildings and critical infrastructure.
