Election Remark
His scientific interests lie mostly in Structural engineering, Fracture mechanics, Mechanics, Creep and Composite material.

His work on Finite element method, Crack closure and Compact tension specimen as part of general Structural engineering study is frequently linked to Test data, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Fracture mechanics research includes elements of Fracture toughness, Power law and Fracture.
 
His Fracture research incorporates elements of Nonlinear system, Bifurcation, Stress, Stability and Brittleness.

His research integrates issues of Characterisation of pore space in soil and Stiffness in his study of Mechanics.

His study in Creep is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Viscoelasticity, Constitutive equation, Shrinkage, Structural stability and Forensic engineering.
 
He was elected as member of the Euorpean Academy of Engineering in 2013.
