Milena Drozdowska

Milena Drozdowska serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics at Gdańsk University of Technology, where she conducts research at the intersection of structural engineering and biomechanics. Her work focuses on vibration-based analysis techniques applied to both structural systems and biological tissues.

Her research interests span structural health monitoring, damage detection methodologies, and modal analysis applications. Dr. Drozdowska has developed innovative approaches that apply structural engineering principles to biomedical contexts, particularly in muscle rehabilitation monitoring through contactless measurement techniques. Her work bridges traditional civil engineering applications with emerging biomedical engineering fields.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on vibration-based structural analysis methods, with increasing application to biomedical contexts in her most recent work. She has made significant contributions to damage detection techniques using modal curvature methods while also pioneering novel applications of these methods to monitor muscle rehabilitation progress. Her research demonstrates expertise in both traditional structural engineering problems (historic structures, lighthouses, bell towers) and innovative cross-disciplinary applications.

Milena Drozdowska actively contributes to the academic community through her publications in reputable journals including Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences-Technical Sciences, International Journal of Architectural Heritage, and Materials. Her work represents a unique blend of structural engineering fundamentals with innovative applications across multiple domains.
