Amir Alani is a Professor at the University of West London with extensive expertise in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications for infrastructure and environmental monitoring. His research spans civil engineering, geophysics, and remote sensing, with particular focus on non-destructive testing methodologies for structural health assessment.
His research interests center on Ground Penetrating Radar applications across multiple domains including structural health monitoring of bridges and tunnels, tree root mapping and assessment, airport pavement inspection, and flood forecasting systems. Dr. Alani has pioneered innovative approaches using polarimetric GPR systems for tree trunk inspection and developed enhanced data processing frameworks for mapping tree root systems in urban environments. His work integrates GPR with other technologies like InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) for comprehensive infrastructure monitoring.
Analysis of Dr. Alani's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward integrating multiple sensing technologies for infrastructure monitoring, with significant work on applying GPR to environmental challenges like tree health assessment and urban flood management. His research demonstrates a consistent focus on practical applications of geophysical methods to solve real-world engineering problems, particularly in urban infrastructure contexts.
Dr. Alani has been actively involved in advising PhD students and securing research grants, though specific details of these activities are not fully documented in the available publications. His research group appears to collaborate extensively with international partners across Europe.
His laboratory work focuses on GPR technology development and application, with particular emphasis on tree root mapping systems and infrastructure health monitoring. The research team has developed specialized processing frameworks for GPR data analysis, including geostatistical approaches and deep learning techniques for root detection.
