About Me
I am a geomechanics researcher with a focus on investigating the mechanical behavior of Earth's materials under conditions pertinent to the shallow Earth and upper mantle. My research integrates laboratory-based geomechanics and x-ray techniques with advanced constitutive modeling and theories of material instability.
I am currently a Marie Curie EPFLeaders4Impact Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Before joining EPFL, I served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University. My credentials include a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Northwestern University, a joint Erasmus Mundus master's degree in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology from the University of Grenoble-Alpes and the School of Advanced Studies-Pavia, and a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Damascus University.
