education was focused on the performance based engineering for structural systems under hazard loading, and application of innovative construction materials (fiber reinforced concrete) for underground construction. Her Ph.D. dissertation was focused on developing generalized performance-based seismic design procedures for residential buildings with a simplified format to be implemented by practice engineers. Her M.S. research was focused on performance of underground tunnel lining made from steel fiber reinforced shotcrete material. Dr. Liu is experienced in teaching structural engineering related courses and has held multiple positions as instructor at a number of engineering programs.Dr. Puttagounder Dhanasekaran
