🎉Our paper is published in the ASCE Journal of Bridge Engineering! The framework presents a unique collaborative approach, integrating structural engineers' expertise with ML tools for bridge assessment. Congratulations to Chrystal Chern! Read it 👇 ascelibrary-org.libproxy1.usc.edu/doi/10.1061/JB…

Relieved to know my family and friends in Bangladesh are safe after today’s earthquake. Reports of damage are still coming in, and it will take time to understand the full picture. The magnitude was moderate, but it seems the shaking intensity was high. #earthquake #Bangladesh

A potentially devastating event has occurred in the region; thoughts and prayers are with those affected. 🙏🏻bbc.com/news/live/c4ge…

Had a great time at the 18th U.S.-Japan-New Zealand Workshop on Structural Engineering & Resilience by @ATCouncilorg. Presented our work on developing woodframe damage index using shake table data. It was great connecting with people just as passionate about #earthquakresilience!

#Bangladesh is under a complete communication blackout following violence against student protesters. News is barely trickling out. Spread awareness of this human rights violation and demand the immediate restoration of communication. #QuotaReformMovement isi.edu/news/70471/usc…

The images coming out of Taiwan are devastating. Thoughts and prayers for #Taiwan. 🙏 #TaiwanEarthquake #taiwanquake #Hualien npr.org/sections/pictu…

Making strides in the lab! 👷‍♀️🔬 Testing our sensor tapes and the results are making me very happy. #labday @USC_CEE

Time lapse footage of the #baltimorebridge accident. Notice how the ship at 11 seconds abruptly changed course to slam into the bridge. There was no other maritime traffic, or marking issues. Human error? Equipment failure? Intentional?

@slpei 2. Back to the future. 4. Indiana jones 1. Godzilla? 3. Antman? Regardless, I love the drawings. 👍👍

Guess the movies. 1, 2, 3 and 4.🧐

Exciting day at Long Beach International Gateway Bridge! Connected with engineers, learned tons about monitoring, maintenance, and emergency response. Plus the elevator to the aerial deck gave a theme park vibe! 🌉🛠️ #BridgeAdventure #SafetyInsights

Incredible opportunity for aspiring #MS students in #CEE! The USC Sonny Astani Dept is offering the Astani Graduate Scholars Program, a fantastic chance for academically strong master's candidates. Don't miss out – Apply now: lnkd.in/eSkvYcbt

Wrapped up the semester teaching Advanced #Steel #Structures course! 🏗️ It's rewarding to see them going from not knowing anything about structural steel to analyzing and designing a seismic lateral force resisting system. Proud of their hard work and dedication.

Muin Research Group's students showcased their research at the 2023 Southern California CEE Research Symposium, focusing on infrastructure resilience. 🌉🏗️ Kudos to the organizers for a fantastic event! @USC_CEE 🎉 #ResearchSymposium #InfrastructureResilience #MuinResearchGroup

Privileged to be an invited speaker at #CICMConference2023! 🎤 Shared insights on #infrastructure #resilience & #sustainability with esteemed experts & joined as a higher study panelist. Kudos to the organizers for bringing together such a brilliant gathering of minds!

It was great to attend the opening ceremony of CICM-2023 conference in Bangladesh! Amazing keynote presentations by Prof Greg MacRae and Major General Sayed Masud from Bangladesh Army Corps of Engineers. #CICM2023 #MIST.

🎉 Exciting news! Just landed my first grant! 🙌 Our team will develop a framework to enhance seismic resilience. Thanks to @PEER_Center & @USC for invaluable support. Can't wait to dive into this important work! #grant #seismicresilience peer.berkeley.edu/news/10-projec…

Devastating images are coming out following the massive earthquakes. Thoughts and prayers 🙏 for #Turkey #TurkeyQuake

@mohsen_zaker Yes.

@MuinSifat Graduate level?

That's a wrap of the Advanced Steel Structures course I taught this semester. Hope to teach more fun courses in the future!
