Jeffrey is a structural and earthquake engineer with over five years of experience in advanced seismic design and analysis. His work focuses on performance-based seismic design, nonlinear analysis, and the integration of base isolation and supplemental energy dissipation systems to enhance the resilience of both new and existing infrastructure. Jeffrey’s expertise includes nonlinear finite-element modelling using VecTor2 and ATENA, enabling complex 2D and 3D analyses of reinforced concrete components.
His knowledge of building codes, technical standards, and practice guidelines ensures innovative yet compliant solutions for complex projects. In 2024, he contributed to national seismic upgrading guidelines published by the National Research Council of Canada, providing recommendations for upgrading existing buildings with base isolation and supplemental energy dissipation devices.
His project experience spans a variety of large-scale infrastructure developments, where he has applied advanced seismic design strategies to prevent structural damage during major earthquakes.
Jeffrey holds a Ph.D. in structural engineering from the University of Toronto and has authored publications on seismic design provisions, base isolation and advanced modelling. He regularly presents at international conferences, where he shares insights that influence the future of earthquake engineering. He is proficient in a range of engineering software including ATENA, VecTor2, ETABS, SAP2000, OpenSees, SolidWorks, Python, and MATLAB.
