My Story
From Les Cayes, Haiti, to a Fulbright fellowship and graduate study in the United States, with degrees from the State University of Haiti, the University of Pittsburgh, and Rice University.
Research & Publications
Seismic vulnerability, fragility analysis, and retrofit of reinforced-concrete buildings, and machine learning for earthquake damage assessment, with a focus on Haiti.
Teaching
My teaching philosophy, the courses I teach in structural and earthquake engineering, a sample syllabus, and course materials, including resources for reinforced concrete design and a Python tutorial for engineers.
Speaking & Outreach
Conference presentations, invited talks, webinars, podcasts, and public conversations on earthquake engineering, resilience, artificial intelligence, education, and Haiti's built environment.
Blog Posts
Reflections on engineering, education, and the built environment, from how we design safer structures to how we prepare the next generation of engineers.
Let's Work Together
I welcome invitations to speak, opportunities to collaborate, and conversations about earthquake engineering, education, and resilience in Haiti and beyond.
