Research

We study how structures and infrastructure systems behave, adapt, and fail under uncertainties, rare events, and climate change. Our work integrates structural mechanics, system reliability, dynamic modelling, and decision-theory to understand how individual preferences and interactions scale to collective decisions and emergent system behaviour.

By connecting behaviour across spatial and temporal scales with human decisions and policy mechanisms, we aim to support rational, ethical, and robust approaches to designing and managing infrastructure systems across generations. This will support the development of intergenerational infrastructure management policies that responsibly allocates limited resources to stay within our planetary boundaries.
