معرفی
Dr. Ki Young Koo is a Senior Lecturer in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Exeter, UK, where he has been contributing since September 2013. He teaches the 'Structural Health and Performance Monitoring' module in the MSc Structural Engineering program. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering from KAIST, South Korea, and prior roles at the University of Sheffield and Kyoungil University.
His research focuses on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), damage detection, and smart infrastructure systems, with expertise in vibration-based monitoring, system identification, and finite element model updating. His work integrates experimental modal analysis, nonlinear time-domain identification, and sensor technologies for civil structures such as bridges.
Dr. Koo's research spans interdisciplinary fields including civil engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, data science, and smart materials. His work is applied in real-world structural monitoring systems, particularly for suspension bridges, leveraging data mining and performance diagnosis frameworks.
