About
Roman Pawel Klis is a Researcher at the Institute of Structural Engineering, part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich. He completed his doctoral thesis in 2016 on data compression techniques for wireless vibration-based structural monitoring. His research focuses on advancing structural health monitoring (SHM) using wireless sensor networks (WSNs), with an emphasis on energy efficiency, data compression, and sub-Nyquist sampling methods to reduce wireless data transmission costs. Klis’s work addresses challenges in long-term structural monitoring of large civil infrastructure, such as wind turbines and bridges, leveraging compressive sensing and spectro-temporal analysis for robust vibration-based assessments.
Key contributions include developing frameworks for modal identification using sub-Nyquist sampling and evaluating their application on real-world structures. Collaborations with Eleni Chatzi and others have explored hybrid sensor networks for uncertainty reduction and experimental validation of compressive sensing techniques. His research bridges signal processing, structural dynamics, and civil engineering, aiming to enhance the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of infrastructure monitoring systems.
