Juan Caicedo

Juan Caicedo serves as Professor and Chair of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing. His research in structural dynamics focuses on vibration-based monitoring for infrastructure and health applications.

Education:

• D.Sc., Washington University in St. Louis
• M.S., Washington University in St. Louis
• B.S., Universidad del Valle

Research integrates numerical modeling and experimental validation for structural health monitoring, earthquake resilience, and human activity detection. Recent innovations include probabilistic methods for gait analysis using floor vibrations and impact localization algorithms. Publications demonstrate strong industry-academia collaboration, particularly in sustainable structural design and educational initiatives.
