WELCOME

Thank you for visiting my page. I currently hold an Assistant Professor position at the George Washington University. I am interested with the development of systems engineering and risk analysis tools for managing disaster consequences on interdependent infrastructure and economic systems. Results of my research activities are documented in more than 30 archival papers (see Publications).

I completed my Ph.D. degree in Systems and Information Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVa) in 2003. Directly after obtaining my Ph.D. degree, I was given the opportunity to extend my dissertation research at the UVa Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems. Before I initiated my Ph.D. studies at the University of Virginia in 1999, I served as a faculty member of the University of the Philippines for 5 years where I was also conferred my undergraduate and MS degrees in Industrial Engineering.

I expect my long-term professional career to converge in a scholarly environment where I can immerse in a well-balanced mixture of research and teaching activities. I consider teaching and delivering high-quality research products as excellent means to reciprocate and express my utmost appreciation of the mentorship (and friendship) I experienced from my mother (my first teacher) and all of my former professors, classmates, and students.
