My research interests lie in vibration-based and guided wave-based structural health monitoring (SHM) of engineering structures, with a focus on system identification and damage detection. I am particularly interested in the development and application of probabilistic optimization methods and deep learning techniques to enhance the reliability and accuracy of structural anomaly detection.
