Infrastructure & Energy Group

Welcome to Infrastructure & Energy Group

My research interests lie in the area of sustainability with a focus on two main areas:

Improving the performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS) for creating a smart, sustainable and resilient infrastructure network;
- System Dynamics and Monitoring
- Novel Technologies for Sustainable, Smart and Resilient CIS
- Structural Dynamics, Structural System Identification, Damage Detection
- Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
- Digital Signal & Image Processing and Statistical Pattern Recognition for SHM

Improving the performance of renewable energy resources (with a focus on solar PV) and energy efficiency of buildings for creating smart, sustainable and energy efficient communities & cities;
- Solar PV Systems and their Integration to Buildings
- Interaction of Solar PV Systems with Smart Grid
- Smart Space Heating/Cooling Systems Integrated with Renewable Energy Systems
- Energy Efficient Smart Buildings
- Net-Zero Energy Homes
