Current research focus
Monitoring and reliability assessment of existing infrastructure
A major part of my current research addresses the interpretation of the structural response of existing bridges through the integration of dynamic measurements, advanced signal processing, numerical models and probabilistic methods.
Particular attention is devoted to nonlinear and non-stationary structural responses, including Hilbert–Huang Transform-based approaches, operational dynamic identification, multi-sensor monitoring and contactless measurement techniques.
The objective is to move from the observation of structural response to the identification of damage-sensitive indicators and monitoring-based decision support.
