Jonathan D. Aubertin

Jonathan D. Aubertin is a Professor in the Department of Construction Engineering at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS). He holds a B.Eng. from McGill University and a Ph.D. from Queen's University. His office is located at A-1599 on campus, and he can be contacted via jonathan.aubertin@etsmtl.ca.

His research spans three primary domains:

• Sensors, Networks and Connectivity
• Infrastructure and Built Environment
• Intelligent and Autonomous Systems

with specialized expertise in rock mechanics, geohazards, blasting optimization, and remote sensing applications for geosciences.

Recent publications (2013-2025) demonstrate strong focus on:

• LiDAR-based geotechnical characterization
• Blast crater mechanics in mining
• Rock slope stability analysis
• Time-dependent behavior of salt mines

showing consistent innovation in field measurement techniques.

Awards and Honors:

• 2022 Doug Stead PhD Thesis Award (Canadian Rock Mechanics Association)
• 2023 50 Grads, 50 Years (Champlain College – St-Lambert)

He leads substantial research advising with 26+ graduate students working on geotechnical projects. As a core member of the LG4 Laboratory, he contributes to geomechanical testing services and equipment management for rock/soil analysis.
