My experience includes experimental and analytical studies leading to technical design guidelines and over 40 published papers, including contributions in high-impact journals like <em>Engineering Structures</em>, <em>Thin-Walled Structures</em>, and <em>Journal of Constructional Steel Research</em>. I currently serve as Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Structural Design and Construction.</span></p>
