Projects & Research Grants

My research programme develops numerical methods that go beyond the mesh — meshfree formulations, NURBS-based CAD–CAE integration, and data-driven tools for structural assessment — and applies them to problems in civil and offshore engineering.

Official record. Grants, publications and supervision are maintained centrally on UTM Scholar (DVCRI) and are always up to date there. This page highlights the programme; the full record lives on UTM Scholar.

Research Themes

Theme 1Meshfree & NURBS-based methodsMoving Least Squares, Element-Free Galerkin, RPIM, and their coupling with NURBS geometry for exact-geometry CAD–CAE analysis. Leads to the NURBS-Divergence-Meshless (NDM) method.
Theme 2AI & data-driven structural assessmentConvolutional neural networks for crack detection, digital image correlation with meshfree formulations, and model updating for damage identification.
Theme 3Nonlinear & offshore structuresLocking-free meshfree formulations for flexible marine risers, 3D subsea cable modelling, and buckling of steel members with openings.
Theme 4Industrialised & intelligent constructionLeader of the i-ProMIS research group: project management, IBS, and BIM-related applications in construction.
